Can I easily set up my new kindle exactly like my old one?

I got a Kindle in December but the case was cracking. I called Amazon and they sent me a new one. I want to set up my new Kindle so it is identical to the set-up of my old one with books sorted into collections. The problem is, I have about 100 books on my Kindle and do not want to sort them out and go through "Manage My Kindle" since it seems I have to individually add each book, then set up my collections all over again on my new Kindle, unless I'm missing something. I tried transferring all my old Kindle files to my computer and then transferring them to my new Kindle, but it doesn't seem to have worked. Any suggestions?

This is from the Amazon Kindle Help section regarding collections:

"Collections are stored on Amazon: When you create a collection on a device, we'll save your collection so it appears in Archived Items on other devices registered to your Amazon.com account. This allows you to transfer collections across registered Kindles."
