Thanks for the excellent and very clear advice, ilovejedd! It worked like a charm, and I will follow your advice for backing up the \documents folder.

By the way, while I have your attention, do you know why the following situation is true. On this new Paperwhite, I went through my content list, checked a bunch, and sent them to the new Paperwhite via wifi. All good. Using Calibre I then transferred a lot of my .mobi books to the unit, via a cable. Again, no problem. (I may have done this in the opposite order.)

However, when I looked at my \documents folder of the Paperwhite, initially I did not see my Amazon books, though I knew they were there, having seen them on the table of contents, and examined some. Where were the?

Soon I found them all in \documents\Downloads\Items01\...

Why are they not in the top \documents folder, do you suppose?
