Start by reading http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_and_AddressBook and 
http://userbase.kde.org/KAddressBook .together with other pages linked from 
there.

You can keep both addressbooks enabled, but it's better to disable the old 
one, once you have migrated, so that new addresses are automatically saved to 
Personal Contacts (the records are in ~/.local/share/contacts).  Akonadi 
manages the database for them, but doesn't touch the records themselves.
