One possibility that I am curious about is since using Amazon to add the metadata to a file in calibre also adds the ASIN to the list of IDs and if calibre is sending the books to the device as a book and not as a document and the ASIN is being added as part of the updated metadata in the ebook, that a routine that checks for expired/deleted/returned content such as KU after a lengthy offline period is also removing those books since they would not match a book listed as current content by Amazon.
Since my Paperwhite is used more for viewing content as part of my editing/formatting workflow and not for reading (my Sage is my go-to reading device), I'm not that interested in testing this theory.

Mine's got wiped twice now (on 11th gen paperwhite 5.16.5). Once turning on wifi after a long period of being offline. Another one leaving wifi on 24/7. Never had such issues before using the older firmware that the kindle came with. All my sideloaded books are in KFX format.
Though my suspicion now maybe is something to do with Kindle's collections sync. All the books that were previously wiped they all were in a collection. Will test my theory and report back whether that's the case.
