Now I get what you are saying.
In answer to your real question
-- calibre does not maintain lists of what is on each device, and you cannot connect two devices at once.
The Reading List plugin can help you automate the task of, well, creating a tag or custom column to track the status of which books are on your old device, so you can select them to send to your new device.
Or highlight them, I guess, since the currently-selected list should not be wiped from un+connecting a device. But I would store the info anyway.

Since reading your post last night, the Kindle Voyage has entered into my pool of potential future e-readers, along with the Aura and the Glo HD.
But I'm not sold on using AZW3 or MOBI instead of ePub. For one thing, I like to edit almost every book I buy in Sigil, to fix broken tables of contents or clean up formatting. I believe I can use Calibre's built in editor on those files, but have never tried. Also, Calibre's built-in editor isn't quite as nice as Sigil, though it's pretty close.

As HarryT said, the calibre editor supports AZW3 (which you should
always be using in preference to MOBI, if at all possible, and it is possible unless you have a device that predates the Kindle Keyboard).
calibre vs. Sigil is a question of preference, and you will find plenty of opinions to be loudly and messily opinionated all over the place.
Place me in the camp of people who prefer calibre.
Assuming you have original EPUBs converted into AZW3, you *can* edit the master EPUB (in Sigil if you like, calibre has a builtin Open With) then reconvert to AZW3.
I recommend
always editing the master format, whatever that is, to keep things organized
calibre also has a standalone ToC editor.
