My "books" display disappeared again - this is very annoying..

EDIT:

After a bit of experimentation. It seems this "disapperance" of books from the menu has specifically to do with the fact that Calibre puts a "News" folder in place with it's downloaded items - newspapers, magazines, web feeds, etc.

If I rename the folder my books are displayed in the Home menu but if the "News" folder is there the display under Books is blank or it displays that folders contents.

This is totally weird. I renamed the folder back to "News" and I still had my books displayed, but when I cleared it (via mounted drive all this renaming) and re-sent it via calibre (such that it re-created a "News" folder) now my Books main display is blank again.

It clearly has something to do with that folder and/or calibre's sending/creation of it.
