HMF, thanks for your reply.

Here's what I've done altogether:

- Create new Calibre library
- Calibre, Device view (original kindle), select all books, copy to library
- Calibre, Device view (new kindle), send all books to device

- Carbon Copy every single file of original kindle to my computer
- Copy-Paste "collection.json" " "Search Indexes" from backup to new kindle

I do get all the books on the new kindle, obviously, but the strange thing is that I get collections that are either complete, missing books, or empty altogether. Apparently some books that were in several collections are also either in none, or only one.

Could it be because of discrepancies in file names between original/new? Folders?
