Exclamation Distinguish between amazon books and personal books in Kindle Papaerwhite

I own a Kindle Paperwhite 1st Generation. I usually have 3 types of books in my Kindle -
  • Sideloaded books through Calibre
  • Personal Documents through the Amazon Personal Document Service
  • Amazon books bought and downloaded in Kindle
now when I connect my Kindle to Calibre, is there someway to distinguish between these types of books? Is there any plugin already available for this or is there anyway to achieve this?

You can tell based on the save path:
  • Should be saved according to the save template in calibre
  • Should be saved as "documents/personal_document_{random long string of letters}.{format}"
  • Should be saved as "documents/{book-title}_{ASIN}.{format}"
