Device: Kindle Paperwhite 3, Kobo Aura, Kobo Glo HD
Calibre settings (migrating from Kobo to Kindle Paperwhite)

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I've decided to transfer from Kobo to a Kindle after being very dissatisfied with my Glo HD.

I've installed Kobo Utilities and plugboards on Calibre so that took care of all the metadata, covers, and series names/number, etc. on my Kobo devices.

I want to do the same thing on my soon to arrive Paperwhite and I have no idea what to do. Basically, my concern is for my books on my Paperwhite to be complete with covers and the series names, and I don't know if I need to install a plugin for that (like a Kindle equivalent of Kobo Utilities plugin) or if the plugboard tutorial I found will take care of series numbering and simply transferring via cable from Calibre to Paperwhite will also transfer the book covers.

With Kobo, I connect the device, transfer the books, eject, and reconnect to finally transfer the metadata and the covers.

Also, is there a way to mark books as 'read', 'reading', or 'unread' in Calibre and then sync it to the Paperwhite so that when I finally transfer my books to the device, I don't have to manually mark the reading status of books individually?

Thanks!
