Kindle won't sync and I'm stumped

This was straight out of kindlegen though. Maybe once the books have an ASIN the rules change?

That might be .....

Actually, my case was about a dozen books. Which was why there was time for me to see the last few disappear, after I disconnected the kindle and turned it on, after the Calibre session. It happened 3-4 times in a row, so I stopped trying to rename them, and just went with the original Amazon title. It may be because I had already put them into a Cloud collection. The other people who use title-series-renaming tell me they don't use Cloud collections at the same time.

Yeah, Calibre sometimes re-ASINs things and I don't understand when (I wish it didn't), and I can understand Amazon's systems getting distinctly confused if books randomly changed ASIN and flipped in and out of cloud collections, particularly given that in cloud collections they are indexed solely *by* their ASIN.

I had even more bizarre problems with a collection on a PW1 once back in the halcyon 5.4.4 days earlier this year when ixtab's hyphenator still worked and dinosaurs roamed the earth; the book count got out of sync with what was actually in the collection. Drop one specific problematic book into that specific collection and the book count would not change, the book would not appear in the collection, would disappear from the outside as if it *was* in the collection, and could only be recovered by moving out of collection view or by long-pressing on the collection and removing the book (it *did* appear in the long-press menu): on removal the book count would still not change, as if the book was still there. Essentially that collection was unusable for that book: it was permanently there in impalpable spiritual form only, as it were. I found myself wondering late at night if I could save a human's soul in there, unchanging and inaccessible forever, and then kicked myself: Kindles don't last more than a few years, what sort of afterlife is that?

The problem went away when the collections DB was rewritten by the 5.6.1.1 upgrade. My understanding is that heaven was deleted at the same time. (This is the real reason why ixtab's hyphenation stopped working.)

LOL No Deb it Does Not confuse. When they finally decide to show I end up with Several copies... Strange how Amazon says you can only DL 6 at a time. I right now have 10 copies of 1 ebook Direct from Amazon.... I tried to Remove 9 They are still there ... ugh. O and when I do get the Extras Off the PW3 it keeps saying I have to DL from the cloud ... ???? ..... Since the last 2 PW3 updates I cant use Calibre to SL the books. They too get Lost. Tho the Calibre says they are there.

My recent ones from Amazon are still MIA
