If these things don't fix the issue, you might try a factory reset.

I appreciate ANY suggestions!
When I do a search from the home screen for a nonsense word, I don't find any option to set the search for 'ALL Text'... possibly not an option on my Kindle Basic 7th Gen? I can 'Search Everywhere' and with a nonsense word, I get "There are no results" in My Items (0) and in Kindle Store(0). Goodreads (0) and Text in books (0) do not show that. I don't know if that show that my Kindle is indexing or not. HOWEVER, I still think that because a book that I had not deleted showed up when the reloaded books that I had deleted did not, that it IS indexing, but for some reason the Kindle WANTS to think the books I deleted are not there even though they are. I realize this gets confusing!
I feel fairly confident that a factory reset WOULD fix this issue, because whatever is stopping the Kindle from displaying the books now would be undone and now that you mention it, I don't have much to loose by doing that, because I only have a relative few books actually showing up on the Kindle now, and I can reload them without much effort. I think I am likely to go that route and will report back. Actually, I think I will try changing the ASIN# on one, and following your suggestion of using Calibre to Mobi to Mobi one of them first, just to see IF either of those methods word.
[EDIT: Neither changing the ASIN# of one of the books or converting mobi to mobi resulted in one of the books that had been deleted from the Kindle showing up on the Kindle after I reloaded it again.]
I WOULD still like to know if anyone can think of a reason that this would be happening however. I like to understand how things work and this just isn't making sense to me. My newbie assumption is there is some database file in the Kindle that says these books are deleted and reloading them is not resetting that.
