Books not showing up on Kindle Touch. - Page 2

Let's start by ruling out the easy stuff: have you told your home page to display them? Ie set the selectors at the top of the home page to "Downloaded" and "All Items", respectively? It's amazing the number of people who don't read the selection options!

Once we've ruled out that, we can then start looking at the more likely issues.

Thank you - yes all the basic stuff done.

After 3 hours on the phone to amazon and 3 different 'techies ' - despite being able to see them on the hardrive - if I emailed them in batches to the kindle email with 'convert' in the subject it worked it out.

As they all worked before the update, on 2 different kindles, I can only think that the update changed recognised file formats. At least it's all done now - if a long winded process ! Thanks for replying

Do you really think the OP is likely to care six months after asking the question?
