Connecting my Kindle PW (11th gen) to my computer, I notice that .KFX-files (or AZW or whatever) are put in G:\documents\Downloads\Items01 when eBooks are transferred to the Kindle? I suspect that these files are the actual books?

In addition, an "same name as the book.SDR" folder is created for each books (e.g. "G:\documents\Downloads\Items01\The Fifth Kind_ Arrival (Dark Nova Series Book 1)_B0C85JD2NR.sdr"), which contain an assets-folder, a data folder, and some .Meta/.ASC/.KLL/.PHL/.YJR-files. The .SDR-folders are larger than the .KFX/.AZW-files. What is the purpose of the files in the SDR-folders?

Can I change the name and the location of the files and folders on the kindle?

Kind regards
Kridsk
