Have you used Calibre to change the title of the book? To add serial information, for instance? About 3-5 years ago, I had books already pulled from Amazon through the cloud. (Bought from Amazon, as I recall.) Changing the title and putting them back on the Voyage, caused both versions to disappear. I could search for them but never see them.

Numerous iterations of delete book with old title, mount kindle on desktop, copy over new title, dismount, open kindle finally got an instance where I was fast enough: I SAW the titles appear and then quickly disappear as the kindle noticed there were two title-versions.

I gave up on changing titles. I know others change titles happily; I've not been willing to risk this pain again.
