I have a Kindle Paperwhite I bought 2 months ago from the states, but I live in Canada. The problem is that I put books in .mobi format on the reader, when connected to the computer in USB format, and when I disconnect it, the books do not appear on the kindle. If I check "Device" it says "All items (0)" and but when I go to "Docs" it does show one or two books, but that's it. There are a lot more books on it, maybe about 15. When I re-connect it to the computer by USB, the books are all still there in the documents folder, but they don't appear on the kindle. Why does this happen?

More information: The first month or so, it worked fine. It was able to read all books just fine. But then I had to de-register it and register another account because it wasn't the right name, and that's when this problem started. After a while, I de-registered it again and re-registered it under the original account, and it still does the same thing.

The last few times, I turned on Airplane mode so that it doesn't connect to the internet at all. The same thing keeps happening. I don't understand. Can someone help me? Thank you.
