Deleted all the annotations in my entire library randomly during some botched Linux upgrade. Removal of mobile apps makes it useless for those of us that like to annotate with a tablet.

Con Proprietary and not-standard PDF annotation
If you annotate the PDFs you have to open it with Mendeley since it uses non-standard formats to annotate PDFs.
