Hi all, this is my first time posting in this section so I hope we get along

Ever since months ago I've noticed quite a serious problem developing with my Kindle. It's a Paperwhite 1, and I've happily used it for more than a year now. However, this problem has been preventing me from reading any new books.

I like to add my own books from Gutenburg or a translated work (yes, I read light novels) using Calibre as it handles metadata quite well and has a user-friendly interface. The problem is, books are not showing up on the Kindle once I convert them from EPUB to MOBI, and send them to the device. It has the same result if I copy them manually.

Through some Googling I gather that the Kindle is not indexing them for some reason - why? It's preventing me from reading new books! Please help!
