I had noticed in the past that when I delete a book from the Kindle, sometimes I get a "permanent deletion" warning and sometimes I don't, but I never put any thought into it because I don't use the archive. No permanent deletion warning = ASIN match in the archive. I only ran one somewhat conclusive test, but when I deleted a book that I knew had a matching ASIN, I got no warning, and the number displayed for the archive went up by 1 and the book now shows in the archive. (Edit to add: I cannot verify that it wasn't already there because my exuberance overrode my proper testing procedures, but I'm still thinking this will work.) So it does look like having the correct ASINs will sync your archive properly. You may have to leave the wireless on for a while after re-adding those books, but it looks like it should work. |

If you meant calibre settings, nothing special there in terms of Identifiers or "send to device" options except my series plugboards. I just did a more thorough investigation. I made sure the wireless on the Kindle was on for a while before I did this, just to be sure. I conveniently have a Reading List for "KFreebies" so I have a subset of books that I know are from Amazon and would be archived there. I went into calibre and drilled down until I had a list of books that: a) Definitely came from Amazon (on that list) b) Have an ASIN as the Amazon ID (ID # starting with B00) c) Are currently on the Kindle This gave me a subset of 33 books. None of those books show in the Archived Items on the Kindle. So it seems that this works, but perhaps not always? I feel like there's something missing here. Like there's something that would keep it from working in some cases? I don't know. |
