Whoops, didn't realize you have the Kindle 3!

The later models organize all the data in a subfolder called *.sdr, but the Kindle 3 (and perhaps the original Kindle and the Kindle2, but how should I know, I've never seen one/heard of anyone who has one) keeps the .apnx (real page numbers), .phl (public highlights), .mbp/.azw3r/.azw3f (notes, bookmarks, location, and highlights) in the main documents folder. All the files with the same name but different file extensions go together, and make sure they continue to have the same name.

(.han and .ea, I forget/not sure what they do, I think .han is the author info, and .ea is the EndActions. The main thing is the three I mentioned.)

And if you download the books before deregistering you will keep them on your Kindle and don't have to deal with moving anything, the gory details are primarily interesting if, like me, you plan on making a master backup of your Kindle which can be loaded onto any device, if I get a new one. (and for moving between different devices, you need to strip the DRM.)
