This may be a trick to getting KUAL to always show first - just an idea.
Kindles keep track of book acces time in the sqlite database /var/local/cc.db

The initial timestamp on the file is used for the first setting.

setting an initial timestamp or an access time into the future is a good way to make a book not show up at all. This can also happen when the kindle clock time is very worng.
