The M3 is my previous device so I guess it means that I could still have items sent to the M5 but I would prefer to be able to use both.

Edit: I just connected my M3 and it doesn't show as connected in the devices tab. When I connect my Boyue T80S it shows as connected.

When you click the add device in the devices tab, it stores details of the device at that. That includes whatever name calibre has given it. You can also set the name and that is used when the plugin sees the device.

When calibre sees a device, it creates the file driveinfo.calibre in the root of the device. This includes an identifier that calibre generates. This identifier is what the plugin uses to id the device when it is connected.

When you got the new device, did you copy any files over from the old one? If you copied the driveinfo.calibre over, then calibre will use device id in it for both devices. And the Reading List plugin will consider them to be the same device.

If this is what you have done, delete the driveinfo.calibre from one of the devices while calibre isn't running, and then run calibre. It will regenerate the file and should generate a new id. Then you can add the device in the plugins config and use it.
