Anyway to use Kindle mbp file with Calibre?

I sent an email to Kindle Support suggesting they have the Desktop application create the same exact file as kindle (header info) and I received a note back to call them, so guess I'll do that.

Now that I see the difference in the mbp file I guess technically if I had an "Old" file it could be altered with the "new" header parm.

Good luck with that the last time I contacted them regarding a problem I was having with some of my mobi files they told me that the app was not designed for that, it was designed for amazon's files and I should count myself lucky it works with mobi files.

If you use the fetch annotations option it will keep copies with the book and you can save them to a separate folder/drive but I think that only works with the kindle. I do not think it does with other devices. The great and wonderful ipad/itunes doesn't offer this option??

No it doesn't. It merely has word processing, internet, email, a zillion apps, etc, etc.

Seriously though.. I'll check out the save annotations just for the fun of it. Perhaps I can sync with a Drop box folder or something crazy like that...

You could also try a google search to see if there is anything out there. Also, try the Amazon forum a little while ago I remember there being a mbp app to covert them to text so there might be something out there.
