Foreign Affairs Replacing Previous Issue

Spankypoo · 07-01-2009, 09:51 PM

Hey all,

When the new (August) Foreign Affairs was pushed out to my K2 today, the previous one (June) disappeared. June's not in my Archived Items, either. I had to delete August and resend June for it to show up on my home screen, (it had my old notes, progress and bookmarks still saved, fortunately). If I then try to resend the August issue, June disappears again.

Any idea why? I tried setting it to keep, but that still didn't fix it, even though it does say "keep" next to it.

Thanks!

Interesting addition: When I delete the August issue, June appears automatically. So it's definitely actively limiting me to only seeing the newest, even though it doesn't delete the old one.

Am I just stuck? Is this some kind of DRM Hades?

Are you sure you don't have both issues "stacked" - is there a white box on the line for this title? For magazines, Kindle creates a folder for them - clicking on the box reveals you available issues. If you have a DX - you have to select "Save" to keep back issues.

I'm not seeing anything like that. Looks like every other book on there.

I tried selecting it and clicking menu, still not in the Archived Items. I tried moving the stick left and right (just got the usual behavior).

My apologies - I now understand what's happening. There should be a line on the last page of your table of contents: Periodicals - Back Issues. When you receive a new issue AND have marked the former issue as "Save" - the older issues are here - you can retrieve & continue reading them. I'm not sure what happens if you don't mark them to save. Perhaps that is causing your dilemma.

This is a major change by Amazon on dealing with magazine back issues - and, as usual, they didn't bother to tell anyone.

Thanks! That did the trick. With 20 pages of books, you can see why I didn't notice...

Thanks again!

I went through the same thing - I have 27 pages of books - and thought I had lost my back issues!
