Changing device on already downloaded Kindle books

Hello everyone,

This is my first post as I only discovered Calibre a few weeks a go.

The problem I face is that I spent days (or nearly a week) downloading and editing all of the metadata for my Kindle books. When I downloaded them from Amazon to an external hard drive Amazon asked me what device I was downloading them for - I chose Kindle Voyage as that was the kindle I was using at the time (and had been for many years)

As (bad) luck would have it that Kindle started to go wrong last week so I ordered a new Kindle (Paperwhite signature edition) last week. I have registered the device but I can not now load my books from Calibre to my paperwhite as it says they are DRM protected (they loaded to the voyage fine) Im guessing this is because I specified them as for my Voyage when downloading

Is there anyway I can auto change them to my new Paperwhite (if that makes sense?) or am I stuck downloading them all again and inputting all the extra metadata again?

I understand this is a problem caused by Amazon DRM not Calibre, but Im hoping there is a solution!
