Transferring Content toYour New Kindle

If you already own another Kindle, this section will help you understand how to transfer your content to your new device. Copies of all your books and recent issues of newspapers and magazines purchased from the Kindle Store are kept in your Amazon account.

Tip:You can download and share Kindle books with all the Kindles registered to your Amazon account.
