Here is the problem. In order to display all items, instead of "ALL" being selected at the top left of the book listing (in the ALL | DOWNLOADED radio selection widget), you need to select "DOWNLOADED" instead.

Because that makes total sense. Ask amazon not me!

...but I'm guessing what's happening is (along the lines of):

ALL displays books stored only on amazon's computers ("cloud") and also displays books stored both on amazon's computers and locally on the kindle itself (but NOT those that were not bought from amazon).

DOWNLOADED displays books stored both on amazon's computers and locally on the kindle itself, and also displays books stored ONLY locally on the kindle itself (but NOT those that are only stored on amazon's computers).

Hard for me to know for sure, partly because my kindle has everything local.
