Not a 'newbie' but a senior with 'moments'!!

OK, so, I have used Calibre right from the start of the ebook revolution.

However, I have not kept abreast of all the wonderful things it can do, only those things that were required by me as time went along.

I have an extensive library which I have managed quite well as far as I have needed too.

Now I am trying to get to grips with putting some of my books onto my devices, preferable in a format (Mobi?) which works with Kindle.

I have put the Kindle app on most devices and those which I can connect to Calibre work well, but, my Windows tablet and 'phone are proving a little more difficult as they do not connect directly to Calibre, or at least I cannot find how.

I appear to have several 'Kindle' accounts and e-mail addresses, but cannot find out how I can recognise each device as they have named themselves and I havn't a clue which is which.

I understand that I have to e-mail the books to the devices via kindle e mail address but can I do this direct from Calibre as this is where all my books are stored. Most are in epub and mobi and the original files are no longer on my computer.

That sounds very complicated to me, if so, please feel free to ask me to clarify any points.
