Troubleshooting Kindle Touch books not showing up

Cuithinien · 12-15-2012, 08:09 AM

This bug has happened to me several times. After I send books to my Kindle Touch (using Calibre), it shows on my device and in Calibre that the books are on my device. However, if I shut down my device (and turn it back on again), the books will be missing (i.e. not showing). It still shows in Calibre that the books are on my device but the books do not display in my Kindle. The only thing that fixes this it is to revert to a previous state (via a previous backup).

!
P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong forum to discuss this in, but the support guy here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/900782 sent me here.
P.P.S. More details if required.

ARE the books on the Kindle? ie, do they show up in the "documents" folder in Windows Explorer?

.... and why are you "shutting down" the device? Or do you mean letting it go into a sleep state?

Yes, they show up in Windows Explorer. I shut it down (restart it) because I may have wanted to install a hack. But even if I don't the new books don't show up, only the old books are still there.
