Now I'm completely baffled, chaley.
I've done a factory reset of my Fire and copied only half a dozen books from my Calibre library onto it using CC's wireless connection. The default storage location, as before, is:
/storage/emulated/0/Kindle
I opened one book and clicked on "Read". The book opened in the Books app, but when I go to "Books" and look at the "Downloaded" tab of the library is says "Your device is empty".
How do I make books show up in the library of the Books app? Obviously I don't want a book reset to the beginning every time I open it!
Thanks
