I have a 9017 SN, so Kindle PaperWhite 2.
Re: "Update Your Kindle" is only used to install Amazon update packages - what are you trying to use it for?" I was experimenting to see if a software Upgrade or Downgrade->Upgrade would "refresh" the OS and let me delete the books.
Re: "So put them back, use the Kindle to delete them." They always reappear after a Reset or Restart.
Re: "There's no problem at all in deleting files from the "documents" folder with Explorer; it's a perfectly valid way to delete books." In another forum, a user warned not to delete via Explorer as it could "mess up the file system." That sure sounded like what happened to me.
The latest: I deleted the 37 offending books yet again via the touchcreen delete command. Then I looked in the "documents" folder via Explorer, and they were still there. So I deleted them again via Explorer.
I bet they would reappear, as they have before, if I did a Reset or Restart - which I had only been doing to try to delete them - so I'm just going to see how long I can go without ever having to do a Reset or Restart for any reason.
Luckily the books do not reappear after a simple Screen Off and wake up.
Thanks for all your comments - I don't want to waste any more of your time.
