Double my Kindle books

ncmike · 08-29-2011, 11:27 AM

Yesterday I uploaded to Calibre some new additions to my Kindle. When I disconnected the Kindle after finishing the upload, I checked and Kindle had somehow doubled every book. Now I have 44 pages of books on my Kindle instead of the 22 I started with.
What happened, and can I correct this without going through 44 pages checking and deleting the duplicates?

Moved to the Calibre forum.

How many books do you have on Calibre? You didnt happen to sent them all by mistake?

Assuming they are all on Calibre, then plug in the Kindle, open Calibre and then delete everything from the Kindle. Go back to the Calibre library and send back to Kindle.

You've got both the original books from Amazon and the copies from Calibre on there, right now (they get named differently), so can just remove the ones from Amazon; the above just does it a lot quicker.

Thanks Koland. I'll try that.
