Migrating highlights & notes from manually uploaded content to a new Kindle device

I recently switched from a Sony Reader to a Kindle and filled my new Kindle with book using Calibre which I like to use to manage my content. Now I need to change my Kindle to a new device because it’s defective but I can’t for the world of me figure out how to migrate my notes and highlights from a Kindle device to a new one.

Of course since I was using Calibre I wasn’t uploading books to the device using Amazon or using the “send to Kindle” app/feature.

I tried to clone the content of my previous Kindle to the new device but it didn’t work. I thought the notes and highlights were stored in the mbp file, which is in the “documents” folder. I migrated that folder to the new Kindle. Nope. I see the books in the new Kindle but no notes, highlights or last location. Oh and no covers. I even uncovered the system hidden folder and copied that.

I spent WAY too much time on the phone with clueless and rude support from the Philippines and then managed to reach someone in the US who was almost as clueless but a nice guy though. Basically they were telling me there was no way.

Any ideas how to do it? There must be a way.
Thanks guys!
