Hello,

I've just bought a new kindle PW3 and am wondering how to get ALL my data from PW2 to this one.
On Kindle I have a lot stuff, most of it are articles from around the web (DOCS) sent using Send to Kindle, some ebooks in mobi format and something from Amazon.
I tried both these options:
- copy just the documents folder
- copy documents, system and all other folders
from old to new one.

Seems like it's working, just have a few issues:
1) collections and according docs are gone (had to be synced from cloud and only contained books from amazon and converted by amazon using my kindle email
2) read progress is not shown in the main page - progress bar is just empty. After opening the book, the progress is shown right and after returning to the main screen, the bar is refreshed for the opened book and shows progress perfectly
3) sorting by recent is gone completely. The books are unsorted.

Especially issue 2 and 3 combined means I'm complete mess in articles - cannot see which ones I read and which ones i didn't. And there are tens or maybe hundreds of those.

I guess there is some internal database which cannot be copied, which stores these settings. Is there someone who can help how to get this right?

Thank you!
