As a follow-up to a previous question, I want to send my books from Cailibre to my Kindle 1. Inside of Calibre, I tried "sending to Device" to Storage Card A. After having a couple of problems getting this to work, I decided to instead "save to disk" all the books in Mobi format onto my desktop. From there, I used Windows Explorer to copy the books to the 8 gb SD memory card in my Kindle (connected via USB).

Is using this two step process of saving to desktop and then copying over to the memory card the equivalent of using Calibre to directly "send to device"?

Associated with my previous question, I got all the books (roughly 700 books) onto my Kindle however I am unable to save any Bookmarks or current location information. Instead I get an error that my SD card is locked (which is isn't, I checked) or that there is no memory available to save this information. I have nothing on the Kindle's internal memory and am using roughly 700mb out of 8 gb on my SD memory card. Looking aj some other postings on the forum, I did delete any search indexes on both the Kindles internal memory as well as my SD card but this didn't help.

For each book I transferred, there was a mobi file as well as a opf file. No other file types.

Thanks.
