There are some bugs with the annotation management. This is one of them.

Is there an easy way to read and edit the xml files, or extract just the annotations from it? I'm not used to editing xml and all the xml codes are kind of distracting. I'd like an easy way just to get the highlighted texts and annotations in a simpler word processor.[/QUOTE]

That's what I suspected. A pity no one has written a simple editor or extraction programme yet that convert the annot-files into something more easily usable for the average reader.
It's beyond my abilities. I've just had a look at the xml in Editpad. I thought basically deleting all text between </text> and <text> would serve my purposes -- but my knowledge of regular expressions is so limited I can't even manage that (i.e. remove each string of </text><anything in between><text>).
By the way, I'm pretty sure the fetch annotation command left me with only part of the highlights for one book in the comments field. I compared it with the annot file, and the highlights missing in Calibre really were there in the file.
