Well, for example, on my Kindle. I click on the list of my books, and there is a list of books looking like this:

/The Devil of Nanking
Mo Hayder
.................................... 1%

/Book by Book
Michael Dirda
.............. 0%

Music Theory: From Beginner to Expert
Nicolas Carter
......... 0%

The first two were transferred from Calibre to the Kindle via USB. The 3rd was an Amazon freebie.

I've seen the same results using my Android app Moon+ Reader, for some but not all books transferred via the content server.

If I search for info on one of these books, it says it couldn't find the book (unless I can erase the leading backslash).

I hope this is clear.
