Transfering Kindle Content

beatles4ever · 04-14-2014, 05:54 PM

I have been using Calibre to manage the content on my Kindle with Keyboard. However, I just had to buy a new Kindle because the screen on my old one broke. I was wondering if there is a way I can transfer everything over to my new kindle from my old one using Calibre. I had a lot of folders set up that I don't want to have to redo manually. I also have a mix of books that I have purchased from Amazon and have downloaded from other places, so it would be a pain to get everything back to where it was.

Any input would be extremely helpful!

Thanks,
Marie

If you didn't remove the DRM from the Amazon books, you can't move those to another Kindle. If you did, then you can. I wouldn't move more than about 20 files at a time to the new Kindle. Then give those files time to index, then move the next 20, etc. Otherwise, your Kindle will probably hang up.
