Jon, thank you very much for your reply. It's the most concise info. I've found. It reflects what I learned migrating from PW1 to the PW3 in 2017. Yes, none of my content has DRM, as it's just for personal use and I've run into notes, etc. limits with DRM.

Your first sentence mentioned having the same firmware version on both PW's. That won't be an issue for me until they stop updating firmware for PW3. If what you say is important, then timing does become an issue in that you want to migrate to PW5 before PW3's firmware falls behind?

Any idea why you lose bookmarks and highlights on eBooks when directly copying? I thought that info. would be in the eBook folders, but apparently not.

I did not lose any of that on personal documents.

Thanks again!
