The same thing happens when I haven't purchased a new book, these books are again pushed to the front and say "new". They are older books and I'm not planning to read them anytime soon, so it keeps messing up the order of the newer books I'm acquiring. Anyone have any ideas about it? These books haven't been updated at all, so not sure why my kindle keeps recycling them as "new" everytime Wi-Fi gets turned on.
I had the same issue once, and resolved it by converting those books to epub and from epub to epub again and then converting them to AZW3. You might try one to see if that works. It was something that Kovid suggested.
