All of a sudden, here's what's happening: I import a book that I've downloaded into Calibre, convert it to MOBI, connect my Kindle Paperwhite and send it to the device. After a moment, the job finishes, and I disconnect the Kindle. But the book is nowhere to be found on the device.

What's strange is that the books show as being on the Kindle when I click on the 'Device' button of Calibre (when the Kindle is connected) and select 'show what books are in Main Library', but the size shows as 0.0mb.

Before this started happening, Calibre lost all the books I had stored there. I had to restore the database. I don't know why this happened, and I don't know if it's anything to do with the problem I'm now having transferring books to my Kindle.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Calibre, I'm using the latest version, and it's installed on a computer running Windows7.

Any suggestions? I would be very grateful.
