I am new to Kindle... well, kind of. I had a KT for a while, but I have given up on the SONY as my main reader only with the release of the PW.
Anyhow, I have not yet figured out how to backup everything. I keep a copy of all my books drm-free in Calibre. But I have not been able to do that for periodicals. So I assumed I could just back them up manually (drag-and-drop) as above - but now I am wondering, in case of a catastrophic failure, will I be able to restore those on a different Kindle on the same account?
