Hello guys, I'm a long time lurker and an even older user (like, ten years) but lost my mail and password a long ago.

I know come to you with a silly, silly question regarding syncing highlights and notes from sideloaded files accross devices.

Sooner or later I intend to buy a new Kindle, quite possibly the Voyage. Now, before that happens, I understand that annotations and highlights from Amazon ebooks are automatically synced between devices, but what happens to sideloaded books and PDFs? Will those marks be synced to the new Kindle? Will the files appear with those marks when transferred to it?
I'm really interested in knowing with exactitude because a very, very large part of my collection consists on sideloaded stuff. All legal though. Don't get yourselves wrong.

Then, when I sideload the files to the new Kindle, will the marks appear on their own? Or am I stuck?
