Even so, this doesn't explain why two of the files in question reverted to a time in the past after restarting the device while two of them remained in the future.

Annotations/highlights in epubs should not be affected by font size. They do not support highlighting over a screen/page break. So, you do need to change the font size to do that. If you use kepub, you can highlight across screens.

They shouldn't be, no. And I have been doing it throughout this book with no issues until now.

There shouldn't be any issues with annotations in epubs. I use them all the time to mark errors or things I want to look up later. There can be problems if the database has issues. But, you have tested that. The only other thing I can think of is if there are errors in the epub. Or the ToC has changed. The latter can happen if you replace the epub using calibre.

Right, I don't know what could have happened in this one instance of saving a highlight that resulted in all highlights, annotations, and bookmarks being deleted—and now no new notes being saved. If it was a problem with the book, then wouldn't it have had the problem right at the start? I mean, it did, but I managed to get them working somehow (not sure which of my troubleshooting steps fixed it). Why now that I'm halfway through?
I keep my Kobo offline most of the time, so it wasn't an update or anything like that. I'm utterly baffled and not sure how to proceed. I haven't read anything since this incident because I can't save any annotations, and I'm afraid of losing more notes in other books.
