cotton.squirrel · 06-04-2023, 11:23 PM

Right now I'm using a Kindle Paperwhite (11th gen) with the latest firmware. I use Calibre to sideload books in KFX format so that I have access to all the bells and whistles that come with it (WordWise, X-ray, PageFlip, etc).

My question is: If I want to migrate my sideloaded books to a different Kindle, can I just copy all the directories (/documents, etc)? Do they contain the reading progress, notes, highlights? Or are these stored in some hidden place that isn't available on non-jailbroken device.

(I used to be able to migrate my books from one Kobo to another, with some small changes to the SQLite database. Is that the case with Kindle?)

Thanks!
