I posted earlier that the firmware upgrade "loses" all your existing annotations; I've now discovered the reason for this, and how to get your annotation back again.

In the old version of the firmware, the annotation file (a file with the same filename as the book, and a ".sketch" extension) was stored in a folder called ".bebook", created in the folder containing the book. In the new firmware, the annotation file is in a folder called ".onyx". All you have to do to get your annotations back is to move the annotation file from the ".bebook" to the ".onyx" folder.

Eg, if you had a book called "book.epub", you would have previously had on disk:

book.epub
.bebook\book.epub.sketch

We now have:

book.epub
.onyx\book.epub.sketch

Hope this is of use to someone!
