Did not dissapear after a restart nor I cannot delete it through USB (because it's not there at all). It's not a big deal but I convert a bunch of book and now my kindle shows a lot of duplicates. Anyone else have experienced something similar with the new update? Should I let it be or try to delete them any other way?

PD: sorry for my English!
I've had such a problem with my paperwhite and my voyage. It seems the only thing you can do to get rid of that empty book on your device is to «réinitialiser» it ie reinstall everything (can't find the right word now). I didn't do it because I have more than a thousand books on my Kindle but it's the way to do it.
