Ok...did you try using Calibre to remove the 30 books that you can't find?

If so, the Kindle might have gotten stuck indexing. Try the following:
  1. Connect your Kindle to a PC and delete all directories and files in the following Kindle directories:

    E:\documents
    E:\system\Search Indexes (You might have to unhide system files to see this directory.)
  2. Select Settings > Restart
  3. Transfer your books to your Kindle with Calibre or download them via WiFi from Amazon.
(I'm assuming that the Kindle is your E: drive.)

If you still don't see your books, you'll have to reset your Kindle.
Yes to your 1st question. I even rechecked the Cloud for the 10 DL from Amazon they Not there. Yes ALL the Amazon & Side loaded books show in Calibre when I check to see whats on the device thru calibe.
BTW ALL the ebooks are in the file Documents. Except the ones I cant find.

This is CRAZY! I Deregister the PW2 from my amazon account. Lost ALL the ebooks from amazon on the device. Changed the settings to RECENT & the Missing ebooks are Right there On Top! This is as I said CRAZY! Why wouldn't they show up when the PW was Registered to Amazon? ... Not sure what to do now take a chance & put it back on my account
Course now I have No collections...wont even let me make collections

With the Kindle connected to your computer, look at in Calibre's Device View. (see first attached picture). Right-click on the title of the book that you want to delete, and choose "Remove Books" (see second attached picture).

Once you have deleted all of the missing books this way, add them back to the Kindle, one at a time. Make sure that you eject the Kindle from the computer each time you add a book, and verify that it you can see it on the Kindle.

Well, it sounds like it has nothing to do with being registered or not, and everything to do with using the "Recent" view.


I have had something like this happen to me before. The lesson I learned was, do NOT sideload books from calibre if the book is already downloaded to the Kindle!
Delete it first -- THEN sideload it.

What you end up with is two copies of the same book, and the Kindle cannot tell which one is the right one, making it very confused.
The biggest issue (there may be others, but this is what I first noticed) is that it completely screws up the Kindle's attempts to keep track of collections.

Unless you reconverted them, they still have the same exth 113 (mobi-asin) field, which is what the Kindle uses to uniquely identify a book.



Similar confusion can happen in the EPUB world, I believe, if two books have the same UUID.
