Calibre has no effect on the operation of your device.

Calibre is not replacing any functionality on your machine. Calibre is on your computer not something that is downloaded or run from your 600.

If you switch to Calibre to manage your books then make sure that you only use Cailbre (as opposed to the Sony Reader software) to transfer books to your 600. If you use both they will step on each other and tags on your device may suffer.

I believe at this point the only way to extract your notes from your 600 is to use the Sony Reader software. As long as you use the reader software to only extract the notes you should be fine.

Someone with more insight will have to address this question because I have no idea what it is your asking.
