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.
I checked and I didn't copy over the file, but I don't even see the files on the new tablet. I do see the files on the old tablet. The files on my old tablet are driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre. I've never plugged the new tablet in because I use calibre companion. Could this be the problem? I don't remember if I ever plugged the old one in though.
