sync kindle

I have new kindle paperwhite 2015 with firmware 5.7.2.1
Please tell me how to sync all my books from my old kindle touch, with my order and progress of reading?
Using calibre.
Without using any clouds.

calibre does not do syncing of last read info, but if you thought you needed calibre you should have posted in the calibre forums.
Not to worry, though -- your question belongs here.



Simply copy over the entire contents of the "documents" folder from one Kindle to the other.
It will preserve your current page, bookmarks, highlights, and notes.

As for the order of the books in Recent(ly opened) view, I believe that information is stored in the system partition ( /var/local/cc.db ).

Note that if your books are DRMed (many amazon books are) you cannot just copy them over. They won't run on the new kindle, as the DRM is specific to the kindle.

You may already be removing DRM, tho. If so, then you certainly can just copy them.

Well, the OP did say that he didn't want to use the cloud, so I sort of assumed he was referring to books that weren't from Amazon.

But that is a good point. Even if it is true the OP only has sideloaded books, other people seeing this thread could use that information.

( I wasn't sure if he didn't want to use the cloud in the future, or never had used it! Thought it might need to be clarified. }

Unfortunately , this method does not work. Any other solutions ?

It does work. What specific problems did you encounter?

I moved, but it did not work . How was the "new " progress in the books , so stayed. Maybe somewhere else stored information about it?
Although i have a file in documents/ "my clippings.txt", judging by the content , contains what we need .
Maybe it does not have to be imported and it has something to do separately?

You may have to open the book in order to make the indexer read the metadata and report it properly.

IIRC it won't update the progress dots until then. I am not 100% sure of the conditions for not displaying the "New" banner.a
