Restored book on my new kindle(?)
I had an old K3 Keyboard that had the screen break. I recently purchased a new Kindle Paperwhite, and was surprised when a book that a friend bought for me, when i had the K3, magically appeared after registering the PW.

The book was from another seller, so I don't understand how its on the PW all of a sudden. I had to have sideloaded it, but why is it the only one that shows up and not any of the other sideloaded books?

Does the book show up on the "Manage devices and content" page of your Amazon account?
Do any other of your books show up there?

Nope. That was the first place I checked. I also looked on the online kindle reader. Not there either. There are other books there (amz purchased), but not this one.

If you had sideloaded it (by which I mean "copied it to your Kindle via the USB connection"), then plainly it wouldn't and couldn't have appeared. The fact that it appeared when you registered the Kindle must mean that:

1. It's in your Cloud library.
2. It was sent from the Cloud library to your Kindle (you can do this as soon as the Kindle is ordered).

On the Manage Your Content and Devices page you need to change the selection from "Books" to "Docs" to see any books associated with your account that were not purchased from Amazon. They do not show by default.

Any books not bought at Amazon are considered docs.

It happened because you uploaded it to the Cloud.
