I bought an ebook from Amazon and put it on my Kindle Paperwhite 2; however, I can't get it to show on the reader.

I downloaded it the usual way, using the 'transfer via usb' option, and side-loaded it. I always do this and normally have no problems.

I've had four attempts to do this now, each time deleting the book, redownloading it from Amazon, then re-sideloading it. I've done several reader restarts, but it still won't show.

It's showing in the Kindle 4 PC software, but not on the reader.

I've checked the indexing, but it isn't stuck indexing.

I've also checked that the PW2 has enough room; it has masses of space left.

Does anyone have any ideas where this book disappears to and how to get it to be readable?

Thanks.
