The files inside the {bookname}.sdr/ directory need to be consistently named -- {bookname}.(mbs|mbp1|azw3r|azw3f)

Late to this party, but I had the same issue (transferring non-Amazon docs with highlights/notes from a Touch to a Paperwhite v2) and had some luck, at least on the small scale.
I made a backup of the subfolder off the old Kindle Touch's Documents folder that contained my book/notes/highlights and placed that on my PC.
Those .mbp1 and .mbs files with the garbage characters after them are generated by the Kindle Paperwhite the first time you open the doc on it after copying over from the older Kindle... seems to be some kind of recognition that the files were not created on the Paperwhite. But, if you load up the Paperwhite on your PC or Mac, determine which (by size or date comparison to the backup .mbp1/.mbs file on your computer) are the ones containing your data, and copy the garbage string out of the newly created filenames, you can delete the new files, paste the garbage string into the old filenames (no spaces, just immediately between the end of the filename and the period at the start of .mbp1 or .mbs), save the change, then eject your Paperwhite and open the doc, your notes/highlights should be restored (they were for me, at least).
There may be a more elegant way to do it with Caliber's Fetch Annotations feature (discussion here:
http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle?_...x32DKH2YTPALR9) but as I only had one book I really, really needed to transfer notes from I just futzed around til I found the above kludgy solution. If you have a huge number of files to do this with Fetch Annotations may be the way to go.
