No, there isn't. I have never seen any real information about how the Kindle stores reading position other than mention of the .sdr files. But, even then, converting the location in one book format to another is problematic.

There are tools and plugins to get annotations from some devices, but, to the best of my knowledge, there are none to return it to the devices.
