Transferring books to a new reader

Hello, all. This is my first post so forgive me if it might be in the wrong place! If it is, I'm sure a mod will re-position it.

Intro: Kindle have issues with their keyboard (Kindle 3G) as some of you may know (characters wearing off the key pads). Amazon are very willing to swap out a faulty machine and will give you thirty days to transfer your books before you return the old reader to them post paid. I've elected to hold on for a while to make sure that any replacement doesn't behave the same.

Question: When I eventually get my new reader, as inevitably I will, is it just a simple case of connecting my new reader to calibre and reloading the books on within this program? That would save an awful lot of hassle given the number I have. Mostly they are downloads in a miscellany of formats from all sorts of sources; only a few are from Amazon and therefore archiveable.

Thanks for the advice/confirmation.

Roger
