Another victim here. My Kindle Scribe is usually offline, but I noticed last year I lost a lot of sideloaded books that I added via USB & Calibre.

Unfortunately it happened to me again recently just before I boarded a 16 hour flight because I had to sync with a PDF document that I'd emailed to myself. I was pretty bored for 16 hours with none of the books I wanted to read!

I wasn't aware of the azw file format or what Calibre was doing with EBOK vs PDOC.

It's very disappointing - either it's a stupid bug or Amazon thinks they have the right to mess with personally owned devices. Either is not a good answer. Keeping wifi off isn't much of an option either for people who use the Scribe to take notes.
