I got a second Kindle3 (to replace a defective one). Both the old one and the new one are registered to the same Amazon account.

I attached the Kindle to the computer and loaded my Calibre books onto it. When I try to open/read one on the Kindle, the message says:

"This item cannot be opened because it is licensed to a different user. Delete it and download it form your Archived Items."

Shouldn't I be able to load them from Calibre? That was certainly easier than having to go Amazon and put each one in separately.

Is this a problem that I need to call Amazon service about?

Thanks!
