I don't know what might be available for side loaded books, but the books that are already in your Kindle Archive (also called the Cloud on some devices) will have all the info like furthest page read, highlights, bookmarks, etc. Sending them to you PW won't affect that information.

As far as Collections (categories) go, you can easily import your Collections from another Kindle or app. The best procedure is this:

load all your books first
Import your collections second

If you use this order then when you import the Collections they will be populated with the Archived books you already loaded. If the book assigned to one or more Collection on your K3 has been loaded onto the PW before you import the Collections, then it will be automatically moved to those Collections on the PW.

Caveat: This only applies to books that are in the Archive (Cloud). It does not apply to side loaded books.
