Sorry of this is the wrong forum.
I have a kindle paperwhite. So what happened to me one time was that I had a book for which an updated version was released. It was otherwise identical in terms of metadata. I had many highlights and notes for it but after I re-sent the book so that it would overwrite the azw3 file on the kindle, it also overwrote the azw3r file in the .sdr folder, which stores the highlights (AFAIK), so when I opened the book I didn't see any of my highlights.
My question is if there's a way to configure Calibre to _only_ send the azw3 and not overwrite or remove anything else? I understand that the highlights may have become incorrect due to changed content in the book, and I at least have them in the My Clippings.txt file. However, in the future, I would prefer it if I could somehow configure it to _only_ send over the azw3 file without removing/overwriting anything in the .sdr folder. I suppose I can do this manually, but I'm wondering if this is possible to configure in Calibre.
EDIT: It seems to me like the
code shows that it
doesn't ovewrite the sdr folder if it already exists. Does anyone have any idea what could have happened? Or is it that when you re-send a book, it deletes the folder for the book if it already exists? This would also delete the contained .sdr folder.
Yeah looking at
other code seems to confirm that Calibre doesn't overwrite this. So I tested it again, and sure enough Calibre indeed does not overwrite these files, so it must've been something I did myself. Disregard this thread
