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.
Nothing exists. You need to do everything again on the new Kindle Paperwhite.
