I have purchased my wife, my mother, and my mother-in-law brand new Kindle 3s for Christmas. My wife currently has a Kindle 2 (the mothers do not have a Kindle). In addition, I currently have my wife's Kindle 2 listed for auction on eBay.

Here are my questions:

How do I get my wife's books off of the Kindle 2 and on to the Kindle 3, and is the answer the same if I don't have both Kindles in my hands at the same time (i.e. I ship her Kindle 2 tomorrow when the auction ends, and give her the Kindle 3 on Christmas day)?
What are the recommended steps for ensuring that the old Kindle 2 is no longer associated to my wife's account (i.e. what do I need to do before shipping it)?
Other than registering all 3 new Kindle 3s to the same account, is there another way my wife can share all of her books with my mother and mother-in-law?

I did search for answers to these questions before posting, but as new features/abilities can be introduced with new software versions, I wanted to start a new topic to get the most current information.

Thanks in advance!
