HELP! Books not showing up on Kindle

ILuvSebago · 08-10-2016, 07:55 PM

I get epub books from the library, convert them to Mobi and send to my Kindle. It hasn't been an issue in the years that I've been doing it.

I was cleaning up my desktop and making folders to make it easier to search for things ... oh yea ... I moved the folder that all my calibre books were in and lost my entire index. I found a thing to rebuild the index and they all came back. Problem solved, or so I thought.

I've continued to send books to my kindle and some show up and others do not. I tried tonight to send a book 4x and it just would not come to my kindle. I started again, downloading the acsm, opening it and having it change to epub and then converting in caibre to the mobi and sent it again. Nothing seems to work.

I read that maybe the index hasn't caught up with it on the kindle, and to restart the kindle, which I did, and resent it again (and resynched) and nothing ... it doesn't come thru.

That was when I noticed that the last 4 books I sent in August have not shown up on my kindle fire. Any help would be appreciated!!!

When you have some books showing up and some not it enas there is a book on your Kindle on which the kindle indexer is crashing. There is no way to know what htat book might be so your only solution is to delete all books and resend a small number at a time.

It appears from the forum that many users are experiencing this since beginning of August. I have 4 Kindles with 4 different email addresses and none of them are receiving the books I am sending (yet the ones from free book sites/Amazon work flawlessly)

I hesitate to delete all the books as you suggested and reenter them, if it is indeed a programming issue. If there was an issue on my 2nd Fire ... why would it affect the 1st Fire, the Paperwhite and the Regular Kindle also ??
