Kindle Paperwhite 2024 - can't load books
I have an EPUB library on Calibre (Windows System). If I send to Kindle via Calibre (in EPUB or AZW3 format) I find nothing in the Kindle library, even though Calibre shows the books as being on Kindle. I come from a Kobo, it's very frustrating.

if I send them via sendtokindle I see it on the Kindle but on Calibre (with the device connected) they do not appear to be sent. if I send them via Calibre via cable they do not appear on the Kindle. Checking the file folder via PC, the books sent via cable via Calibre appear in the main directory of the Kindle, while those sent via sendtokindle are inserted in a subdirectory and in KFX format + folder of the same name.

Plus: books synchronized via sendtokindle do not have page numbers (visible, however, on the iOS app)...

This is frustrating and I really miss my Kobo...

Any chance you can get your Kobo back?

Epubs wouldn't show up when transferred via USB, because Kindles cannot read EPUB files. But AZW3 files should appear. Are you sure you've not been sending only epubs?

Sure. I also tried sending the files from Calibre to various folders (main, downloads/Items1...etc), but to no avail.

Nope, but many chance to send back this Kindle.
