I'm not converting the mobi files, just having a backup file, I am converting the azw files though.

Any suggestions as to why they're (non-Amazon mobis) not appearing in the All Items view on the Voyage?

I think you're absolutely right about this. Maybe the file has gotten corrupted? I've added a new column in Calibre that's a Y/N if the book is in the Cloud so I don't accidentally sideload a Cloud file. I didn't have to deal with the Cloud with the Keyboard (just worked through Calibre) so this has been a learning experience to say the least.

I haven't called Amazon yet about the corrupted file. Do you have any suggestions of how to fix this? Are there hidden files somewhere I don't see that I could delete?

And what's really weird, while on the Voyage in the Cloud view, both files are listed (empty). I can tell because I use [] around series and Amazon just uses (). In the Cloud view, there's a checkmark on both files.

Thank you for your time and responses.
