I transferred one of the APNX files generated for my old kindle to the new one (within the Sidecar directory) using Dolphin (plasma’s file explorer) and its MTP plugin, and it worked fine with my new Paperwhite.

So it should be possible to transfer this file using MTP from calibre. I understand APNX generation does not happen on device, right?

Happy to raise a PR if you could point me to the file where this should happen 🤓
MTP use blocks the access needed. This is DELBERATE by Amazon.
