I have tried deleting the book completely from the documents folder on the device, restarting, and re-sending the book as well as updating the Goodreads and ASIN IDs in Calibre, but there seems to be some cached database of these annotations somewhere and I cannot get rid of them. I'd like to just reset the book like it's brand new, but no matter what I try, the Kindle seems to remember the sideloaded book.

The device is a Kindle Paperwhite 11th Generation running firmware 5.18.6. I am running Calibre 8.16.2 on Fedora Linux.
Take note of where you are in reading this book. Delete it from the Kindle and resend it. Go back to where you left off and continue reading.
