Amazon removed books from my Kindle - Page 57

CamilleScholtz · Yesterday, 12:54 PM

A quick summary of the thread from what I gather, correct me if I'm wrong: AZW3 and KFX books that are marked with EBOK rather than PDOC get removed after a device comes online after having been offline for an extended amount of time.

Does anyone actually know what this timeframe is? Days? Weeks?

Also I saw someone ask if there are any differences between EBOK and PDOC, for me the reason to use EBOK is because generated x-ray files (using calibre's WordDumb plugin) only work with EBOK.

Weeks, it looks like. No one knows exactly.

Some of the speculation was that this happens when the kindle's clock is too far out of sync with the network clock. A Kindle with the wifi on updates its time from the network regularly. A Kindle with the wifi off, relies on the internal timekeeping chip. This tend to drift slowly, but the drift is not very predictable, which would be consistent with the observations that the time is not very predictable.
