Unhappy Sideloaded book not opening out of the blue.

I sideloaded a book on my kindle PW through send-to-kindle method. All went fine till one month. I read the book on my android kindle app on my phone as well as on my PW.

All of a sudden out of nowhere, the book became kind of unavailable on my PW device. When I click on the book in the library, it says 1% downloading, then I click on it and then the process starts again. I can read it fine on my Android phone in Kindle app. When my kindle is in airplane, mode, it asks me to turn on the wi-fi to download the book. But the book never gets downloaded.

In the manage content page in my Amazon account, the books shows up being in 2 content devices i.e. my phone and my paperwhite device.

I tried restarting my device but the problem still remained. Then I hard pressed the power button and did a force restart. When the device restarted, I connected to wi-fi and the book opened.

Then after I turned on the airplane mode, the situation returned to square one where the book doesn't open and I always see "queued" and "1% downloading"


My Kindle PW is up-to-date.

What should I do so that I can read the book in my PW device now? I wish I could remove it from my device and re-sync it without losing my highlights but that option can't be found in my Amazon UI in browser, neither my Kindle device.
