Kindle paperwhite doesn't recognize book

tsumaster · 07-21-2013, 10:45 PM

Hi.
First. I don't speak English well. So, sorry for it. But I understand what I read.

People, I need your help. I was adding books on kindle paperwhite 5.3.6 and noticed that it did not recognize the books.
In "my itens" nothing appears. In 'books" nothing appears too...

I thought it was because of the version of firmware. So I installed 5.3.5 firmware version, but the problem persists. Sometimes some books appear in the "docs", but usually is no longer showing the new books. Anyone know of something?

I tried .mobi and .azw3

@tsumaster-

It is likely that you have a corrupt book file...the Paperwhite is tempermental and if you have a bad file it frequently will show nothing, not even the 'good' books. You can try searching on a nonsense word like 'pplrk' and see if your Paperwhite is still trying to index your added books. If you are using Calibre, you need to remove the books and re-add them a few at a time so as to try to figure out which one is bad. Then do a mobi to mobi conversion which usually fixes things... or you can just go ahead and reconvert all of the books you are adding and again add them a few at a time in case the book file wasn't repaired.
Good luck...welcome to the forum!

Thanks GoSharks. That was it. I discovered it was the second volume of the series Mistborn.
