Same issues here with my 6th Gen Paperwhite

The last update was 5.9.7 which worked perfectly. Today (After some months) I charged the Paperwhite again and when I turned it on a couple of hours later, I was presented by 5.10.1.1.

Dang!

Errors! Books disappearing, regardless whether the books are online from Amazon or in my local device. Some of the purchased books show up. Some of the sideloaded books show up. Plenty of emtpy "scrollable" pages but no book thumbnails on them (empty, not clickable).

This is by far the biggest FAIL from Amazon.

After mounting the Kindle under Linux and looking on the filesystem, all books are there. Nothing deleted.

So it's not a lower than 5.9.7 issue. It can also happen with 5.9.7 - as in my case!

Do they have a QA (quality assurance) or something ? Or did someone do a last minute change before releasing the new firmware ?

I am quite pissed off atm...
