eBooks showing up on device library but NOT on "Content and Devices"
I was unsuccessful in troubleshooting my Kindle issues after spending 4 hours chatting with Amazon's customer service. I also searched all over the net but no dice. Would really appreciate your help.
What I'm working with:
Steps I've taken:
Issues: Calibre “Send to Device” USB Transfer
Calibre Connect/Share
Gmail Email Attachment
My biggest concern is being unable to use Calibre's USB transfer to sideload an azw3 file (since this is my preferred file type). I had no problem using Calibre's "Send to Device" to sideload azw3 files in the past, but I'm not sure what's happening now. |

Connect your device: Right click on the (connected ) device icon: Configure
Make sure the desired SUPPORTED formats include AZW3 |

when sideloaded via Calibre's "Send to Device," files (azw3, mobi, pdf, txt) show up on the device library and have a green check mark in Calibre's "on device" column, but none of them show up on my "Content and Devices" page on my amazon account (searched both "docs" and "books" dropdown options) |

Sideloading doesnt add files to your cloud library you have to use send by email for that. All sideloading will do is make the book show up on your device, thats it. And if it isnt showing up on your device, see https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...id-not-show-up

Thank you! I'm sorry if I'm not understanding correctly, but I did try to send it using email to Kindle (calibre's Connect/share) and the file did not show up in neither my device library nor Amazon's "Content and Devices" page. However, it did work when I directly emailed the file by attaching it to an email and sending it that way. So I guess, the issue would be why Calibre's Connect/Share isn't working for me.

@chipmunks: Please do not double post as you did with this thread and the duplicate first message thread in the Kindle forum.
