I just replaced a kindle 3g with a PW. (the 3g totally died a frozen death). I used the current Calibre to transfer books and had a similar experience - no books showing up even though Calibre showed them as did my file manager.

I created a working directory of 8 books, converted them all to Azw3, deleted everything else and grew impatient waiting for them to convert to mobi.( I figured the extra step would totally clean up any potential problems.) I right clicked my mouse to transfer a specific format and ejected after the first book. It showed up. I then repeated the process with two more books and they showed up. So I did the last 5 in one fell swoop.

It worked!!!! Thank you very much
