As others have said, all of your Amazon purchased content can be downloaded to your new Kindle via the "Archive" folder on Amazon's server. Other content has to be handled differently.

The actual files for the purchased content on your old Kindle are tied to that device. Almost all of Amazon's content is licensed for more than one Kindle device provided they are registered to the same account. When you download from the Archive to your new Kindle the file will be freshly tagged for the new Kindle.

Any content that you have that is not burdened with DRM (e.g. content downloaded from MobileRead, ManyBooks, Project Gutenberg, ...) can simply be copied from the old Kindle to computer and then copied onto the new Kindle.
