The files on your PW2 are encrypted for just that kindle, even your send to kindle files. Ideally what you need to transfer into Calibre are the orignal files that you sent into your kindle using Send to Kindle as I assume those files are DRM free. Then yes those files (the DRM free ones) can be sent onto another kindle.

While the files are still in Amazon's cloud they will download via a kindle, or kindle app, to your device. The books that won't download are any you sideloaded to your current kindle via USB, as those are not in Amazon's cloud.
