I just got a Paperwhite and I previously used a Gen 3 (Keyboard) Kindle to read on. I want to transfer all my books (Done), and, importantly, how far I've read in them and if they're read or unread. Plus ideally collections as well.

From my research I've found out that Kindle gen 3 stored progress in .mbp files, and Paperwhite stores the data in .sdr folder in a .mbp1 file named after the book + what looks to be a hash.

My question is - is there a way to move my progress from my Gen 3 to my Paperwhite? Most of these books are sideloaded (HB and whatnot) from Calibre. Most are .mobi.
