It took me two whole days to load 1800-odd books from Calibre onto my Voyage. The main factor was that I was selecting books a few at a time in Calibre, and sending them to the Voyage, and Calibre was doing its "Send metadata" operation after each small batch, which was taking about 30-40s each time. There are better ways to do it (mark all the books and send them in one batch, for example), but if you simply want to duplicate the contents of one Kindle onto another, copying the "documents" folder is definitely the way to do it.
