Has anyone else done this? I have a large library of sideloaded books on my kindle keyboard and just purchased an oasis 3 during the sale. Stupid me figured that it would be easy to just move all my old books over the same way I moved from previous kindles to the keyboard.

It did not work (surprise). So now since my clippings file is an old txt, moving it with the old files from the keyboard documents folder to the new oasis was a disaster, it just created a new clippings file as if it were a new book.

None of my older books show 100% or marked as read etc.

Any way to get over these humps or do I just have to start over fresh? It's frustrating because I wanted to keep my old read books marked as read so I can go back and look chronologically (i know i know) but when I tried just moving the whole documents folder from the old kindle to the oasis the oasis just created "new" folders for each book so sorting by recent showed everything in alphabetical order and nothing was marked as read or partially read.

Any advice is appreciated. The Oasis is pretty and the screen is nice, warmth works well. But I hate having to start from scratch and load everything again and manually mark it as read or partially read.

It's also driving me nuts that items downloaded from a calibre server will never show the covers on the oasis, if I load the same files using usb the covers are loaded.
