3. Download the books from Amazon to your PC, remove the DRM and sideload to your new Kindle.
No direct copying between two Kindles or between a Kindle device and Calibre is possible, if the books are direct purchases from Amazon.
If the second:
1. Copy the books on your first Kindle over to your PC and from there to your new Kindle. No Calibre needed. Or
2. Connect your first Kindle to Calibre. Calibre checks the books on your Kindle and marks them with a green tick. Tag the ticked books with whatever tag you like. Then connect your new Kindle to Calibre and send the books you just tagged to the new Kindle.

Thank you. Sorry I forgot to mention about the books. A small proportion are Amazon bought books but the vast majority are sideloaded books bought elsewhere.
I know what you mean with the green tick for the books you have on your Kindle. I have never used the tag system before. Are you able to do some sort of command to tag “all ticked books” do you know, or do you have to go through them all one by one and tag?
Thanks again for your help!
