Hello! I've been using calibre to sideload books onto my kindle for I think about 7 years now and I have never run into this issue before. Basically, I have a list of like 15 books that I tried to load via Calibre, and all seemed to be normal. Upon ejecting the device, however, only 2 showed up on the kindle. I plugged it back in, and according to Calibre the books are 'on' my kindle - but they are nowhere to be found. I deleted all the books off the device with calibre and tried to re-load them, with the same result. Calibre thinks everything is fine, only 2 books show up in my device. I have ruled out any issues with the sort settings on my kindle, and even searching specifically for a book produces no results, and rebooting the kindle did nothing. I'm not sure what to do to fix it, as I haven't had any issues with Calibre misbehaving before. The books seem fine if I open them with the Callibre book reader.

Calibre Version: 4.10.1 x64
OS: Windows 7
Device: Kindle Paperwhite 2, Firmware 5.12.2
Plugins: EpubMerge, EpubSplit, Find Duplicates, KFX Input, and KindleUnpack

None of the plugins were used on any of the books in question.
