First of all, thanks for this software that has served us so well on thousands of titles.
Do I misunderstand one of its more obscure features or can I help debug in any way?
Calibre 8.4's "Send to device > Fetch annotations (experimental)" as it still is
briefly pops up "Merging user annotations into database",
from a Kindle Paperwhite Gen 7 "on the way out" after 10 years of service,
but both View > Browse annotations and the Highlights sidebar of Calibre's internal reader (via "Show controls" top right on mouse-over) stay empty afterwards in the books they refer to either,
whether opened from the DB or the device memory.
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=342712 suggests they shouldn't even be "seen in the viewer" yet, as of 2021 at least.
While connected, Calibre does show (though without the "on device" tick mark) and open from there (like the txt file by the same name in Documents) an entry for "My Clippings".
N.B. its rows starting with "- " state the page, position and date in that Kindle's original German (in case that matters).
