- No notes from the study session after the update

So I queried the internal DB for annotations and figured out that PDF annotations are stored in the PDF itself, I didn't know that.

Since my device is set to turnoff after 1h, I think when it turned off automatically it didn't flush my notes into the PDF.
And I can replicate the problem. Exactly how I described.

The PDF reader only flushes the notes when you leave the reader or maybe after a few page swipes... but if you take notes, leave it open and wait it until it turns off automatically, it has the same effect as you turn the device off manually.

I will report to Kobo.

PS: maybe this also affects annotations in books.
