Have you looked in the documents app that comes with the fire, to see if the lost books show up there instead, as documents.
I use a fire, and cc but if I am not reading something directly downloaded from Amazon and not added to calibre, , like a Kindle unlimited loan, then I convert to epub and send that to cc instead. Which bypasses the whole issue..
so I use the fire Kindle app for Amazon Prime and unlimited loans mostly. Stuff I buy gets converted to epub and in un-drmd.

I have occasionally sent azw3 via cc, with "books", not Kindle as the designated folder, and they do appear as downloaded books on the books tab. I have not experienced the problem that you and the other poster reported. Maybe that is just luck and low volumes?
It could also be that different fire tablet versions, with different os releases, behave differently.

The documents app seems to have all my send to Kindle stuff. Mostly Sent via the webpage grabber addon. Though when I open a document from there it renders in the Kindle book app.
