Transfer ebooks

Hello All, Merry Christmas.

Santa brought me a new android device for christmas and I am trying to figure out how to transfer all my ebooks from my old device. I use amazon kindle app as my reader.

If I copy / paste from my old books folder to a new books folder my new device doesn't recognise .mobi format.

Ideally I would like to keep the 'metadata' such as Read status.

Were the books bought from Amazon? If not, how did you get them to the Kindle app on your old device?
