Hi,

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I think I need some more detailed indications on how to do this, if possible. I am also trying to move my library and highlights from an old Kindle, to my PW.

I do not have jailbreaked my PW, nor my Kindle, is it needed?
Do I need Calibre for any step?

I have followed the advice from NiLuJe, at least I tried to do so. What I have done, first for a single book.
1- Copy the files from my old Kindle, from the folder documents, to the same folder in the Paperwhite.
2- I have created a folder which contains exactly the name of the .mobi file, but with .sdr at the end of the folder name.
3- I have moved there both .mbp and .apnx files.
4- When I switched on PW (no restart), PW had created .mbp1 and .mbs files, with some gibberish numbers added between the book's file name and the extension
5- Out of desperation I tried renaming my .mbp file to have the same name as the .mpb1 file, and then "remove" the .mpb1 file generated by PW. So effectively I replaced the mbp1 file with my original mbp file.
6- I have done the very same thing for My Clippings.txt file

Nothings seems to allow me to see my highlights while I read in my PW.

My old Kindle has broken screen, in case this has some impact.
