Make note to self: 'don't change titles AFTER making notes in that book
While that will work to update the My Clippings.txt file, it does not make the annotations available when reading the book. The My Clippings.txt file, is really just a log of any annotation and highlights made. Doing this will allow the Annotations plugin and other tools that read the file to get them. But, it isn't used by the device to display annotations when reading.
