Just received Kindle 2. Don't know what I did, but now my home page just has "Archived Items." I have to do a search to find my downloaded books. How can I restore the original home page?

I may not be understanding your post correctly. But here goes.

All K2s come that way if you upgraded from K1. Click on the "archived items" link and download you books into the K2.

If you are saying you already downloaded books into your K2 and they are not being shown on your K2, try checking your sort order. If that doesn't work, you should call Amazon CS so they can walk you through a solution over the phone.

You've done one of two things:

1. You've just rebooted. Just wait; it takes a minute or so for all the books to load.

2. You've accidentally changed the sorting. Push the stick up to the top, push left to see the categories, then push right a few times until you're showing all documents.
