So I was editing all the metadata in my Amazon books, but when i put the ebook files and the corresponding mpb files back on the kindle, none of my notes and highlights are showing up.
I asked the creator of Calibre about it and he informed me that I had make the mbp title match the ebook files, because in changing one, I've disassociated it from the other.
I can't figure out if I had to leave the string of numbers there or not, but no matter what I do, when I load the files back onto my kindle, the notes aren't there. The book has a New tag next to it.
I know some people have edited their azw metadata, any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I don't use notes and highlights, but I wonder if you can copy and paste the data from your original .mpb files into the new .mpb file that will be created when you open the book for the first time on the Kindle.

the mpb file isn't a text file right? I don't see how one could edit it...

Actually, I think it is a text file. Certainly doesn't hurt to try.

Got it fixed.
You remove the string of numbers from the title of the mpb file and make the updated title and author info exactly the same as the ebook file's.

Glad I saw this. Luckily I don't have too many books that I keep notes in. I just edited about 280 books, I'd hate to have to go back and fix that many .mpb files  |

There's a possibility that if you edit file names, it will defeat the device to device sync, as well as causing bookmarks and such to not be stored in your Archive (as the filenames wouldn't match the purchased item).
I have no information one way or another, but the thought occurred to me.

Device to device sync still works fine. The only thing I've figured out is that if you move the book to archive, it will loose any of the updated meta-data when you re-download it to the device. |
