Yes and no. If you mean does the firmware on the device support it, then no. Kobo does not support syncing any details about sideloaded books. But, it really depends on what you mean by "copy", the tools you use and what you are willing to do.

If you are a calibre user and use it for collection management, it is simple, just connect the new device and and send your books to it. The collections will be created.

You can also copy, carefully, the whole database and all the books across to the new device. This works for some people, doesn't work for others.

Or, you could use some SQL knowledge to dump the collections from the database on the old device and add them to the new device.

And there is also an automatic collection creation tool that you can install on the device.
