Not bothered about Kobo books i have read on my old one But have many sideloaded books on it
Can they stay on it?
How can I change the user and email address on it?
Also cannot remember how to set the new one I bought up.
Can I keep the same email address?
If your sideloaded books are DRM free, then yes, you can copy them to your new reader and read them. If the sideloaded books are protected by DRM then these books can not be read because its a different reader with a different device identifier.

But these DRM issues can be solved the official way. Just enter the same account settings (Adobe, Kobo Facebook, Pocket) on your new reader.
To authorize your new reader with "Adobe epub" DRM connect your reader to a PC and open Adobe Digital Editions. Under library you'll find an option "authorize my device" and click on it. That's all. Note: "authorize my device" is also present in the left navigation panel.
