Kindle 5.4.4.2 (2323310003)
Calibre 5.35 Linux
I've been using this Kindle for years and recently don't see the books I've uploaded using Calibre. I'm not actually sure when it happened, as I don't regularly upload new books. The only thing I can say is I only noticed this after upgrading to 5.35.
I ended up wiping all the books I could see from the Kindle figuring I could just put them back. But now I see no books at all, even after I upload them again
Calibre shows the books are on the Kindle with a green tick and On device- main for all I have copied on.
I use Kindle Collections and that is able to show me the collections it creates on the kindle, from the books it sees.

But on the kindle I see only the empty collections it created, no books in either The Eagles, or Scarrow, Simon.
Even if I try searching, it comes up with nothing.
My next step is a factory reset.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue?
