I have a paperwhite which I manually (LIKE AN IDIOT) updated to 5.10.1.1 back in mid october (2018) and I have had problems, on and off.

It is so odd. I can't quite put my finger on what the problem actually is.

I don't have any problems at all with amazon books. I don't have any problems at all with docs which I sent via Calibre. I sometimes have problems with docs sent via Send to Kindle. I sometimes have problems with docs sent via Push to Kindle.

At first I was certain that it was azw3 files from Send to Kindle. But, nope, some of those open fine, and some of them just don't. If I attempt to open them on my paperwhite, it causes the paperwhite to hang up which then provides me with a popup error which says something along the line of, This isn't in your cloud, delete and try again. (I forget the exact wording.) However, the exact same document is available for download on any of my other devices (fire and android and ios apps)

But sometimes, it works. Sometimes, a file which I tried to download yesterday, and which didn't open, will download and open today. It is a mystery.

I really so much prefer to read on my paperwhite that I am willing to do this ridiculous thing - I Send to Kindle, then click to download them onto my paperwhite. Then I delete from my amazon/myk

Then, I attach it to my computer, and then ask calibre to fetch them from my paperwhite. Even though the paperwhite says that the articles are not there, they actually are. Then, send BACK to my cloud from calibre, and download onto paperwhite. This works perfectly. Although, I feel like it is sure proof that I have lost my everloving mind.

I sometimes send 25+ articles from Send to Kindle, representing many nights of reading, so this workaround, which is completely stupid, satisfies my desire to read on this freaking paperwhite. Sigh. (I read articles more than any other form of reading.)

The super frustrating thing is that everything about my paperwhite and its relationship to the cloud and with Send to kindle was picture perfect the exact moment before I manually provided it with 5.10.1.1. EVERYTHING. I could cry.
