Any method you use that results in Amazon delivering AZW3 format to the Kindle will not give you cover thumbnails.
In my testing syncing works most reliably using old MOBI format created using calibre or using a Master MOBI produced using Amazon's tools instead of calibre.
If you send Amazon an EPUB with an incorrect image file extension they convert it to Master MOBI. Master MOBI contains AZW3 as a component of it and only that part is delivered to all but the very oldest Kindles.
There is a calibre plugin that can extract annotations in a limited way from Kindles. But there is no syncing of positions or annotations between Kindles and calibre. |
Dumb question: why not just drop the ePUB onto KP3, export a master MOBI and put THAT onto the Oasis? I mean, why use Calibre in this, post-ePUB, at all? (I am aware of the mobi conundrum, for the future, but as FXL will retain MOBI format...I suspect KP3/KG will/can still produce master mobis for a good while yet.)
