Hopefully you will be able to get them to match what is used for the sdr folders.
Thanks, David! I'm only in "trouble" with the batch of books I had on my kindle for the couple years I didn't know about Calibre. I'd rather not change the behavior for all future books, and I tend to lose mods like that when I move computers or reinstall stuff.

Turns out there were only 30 books I really wanted to preserve the highlights and notes for, so I spent a few hours importing to Calibre, copying to kindle, then dragging over my old .sdr folder and renaming the files. In all but 2 cases it worked.

Time to move on! Thanks for the suggestion though!
