Thanks for the reply. .sdr directory? No such directory on my Kindle. At least not on my older one. Are you perchance referencing another location? Kindle Reader, for example? My Kindle connected via USB shows as a logical drive w only TWO (2) directories: "documents" and "active-content-data," the latter empty. Show Hidden Files is ON in my File Manager.

What I DO notice are .azw3 files, followed by THREE (3) same-named files but w different EXTENSIONS: ".phi," ".ea" and ".han" w the latter containing info regarding HIGHLIGHTS:

{"payload":{"key":"B07X8QVNGX","type":"EBOK","reco rds":[{"endPosition":"153986","startPosition":"153842"," lastModificationTime":"2021-06-06 02:33:45.289","type":"kindle.highlight"},{"endPosi tion":"155327","startPosition":"155133","lastModif icationTime":"2021-06-06

On a later Kindle Paperwhite, for the same book referenced above, there is an .azw3 file, but additionally, in a separate sub-directory w the same name as the book name associated w the .azw3 book are other files w entirely different extensions compared to the older Kindle, namely: .META, .MF, .APNX, AZW6, .PHL, .ASC, .KLL, These are largely unreadable machine language, w some actual English content, but none suggest beginning or ending of Highlights.

This might be a wild goose chase.
