Hi knc1,

Thanks for helping this obvious Kindle noob, I will try to be more precise.
And to encourage you, I am after IT studies so I may understand instructions a bit more easily

Old kindle, from now own Kindle 4, version: 4.3.1 (2692310002)

Paperwhite version: 5.7.4.1 (2937220006)

No, I have never used Collections. I tend to like the old raw file explorer way. I should make an effort here to change it, it takes more time.

To "convert" .mbp to .mbp1 I simply used the renaming function from Windows Explorer. I added a hyphen at the beginning of the name of the original file, to avoid the double name, that is what I meant by "removed". So like an auxiliary variable in programming.

I can summarize what I was doing.
- Download a book to my PC
- Use Caliber to upload via USB to the kindle device
- Read the books, highlighting them.

The only function I used from Calibre is converting files.

Notes:
- Kindle 4 screen is half frozen (HW issue), to check the firmware version I needed to use the similar kindle from my girlfriend, and turn the screen in mine so the useful info would appear in the "proper corner"

Again, thanks a lot!!
