  • The Libra 2, bought 13 October 2022 because I wanted a cheaper reader in hospital while getting 2 new knees. Same F/W: only two words, the first on a book last read 4 February 2023, same three choices, the second only two choices: "read the definition, delete", so I know neither which book nor of course, when last read
  • The Sage, which I once more (grrr!!!) had to reset totally a month ago. Same F/W. The first seven words gave two choices, the last six words, three choices.
So my conclusion is I have no conclusions. I have no idea why "my words" behaves the way it does. Try a long press on each of your words, and see where it leads you.

You taught me something new! I have never long pressed on the words. It is indeed as you say. Most of my newer words include “Show in book”, but that drops away by the sixth page of words. I suspect two things. One, the ebooks in question are no longer on my Clara 2E. Or Two, when I transferred my old My Words list from my Clara HD to my Clara 2E, the sideloaded books lost their link to the words. The words that still display “Show in book” are all Kobo purchases.
