PW2: Latest .mobi books loaded through USB are not visible on a Home screen
A few latest .mobi books that were created/converted by Calibre and loaded with Windows File Manager through USB cable are not visible on a Home screen of my PW2.
I already have about 200 books on this device and most of them were created/converted by Calibre and loaded through USB interface over the last several years. Troubleshooting: 1) I copied a couple of these books to my Kindle K4 and they are visible on a Home screen of that device. So I assume that this is sufficient conformation that these books are not broken. 2) I deleted content of a "System/Search Indexes" folder of Kindle PW2 - disconnected from PC - connected to PC - Index started getting rebuilt: .lg and .db files reappeared - .lg = 1 KB; .db = 40 KB - disconnected from PC - connected to external power source - closed the lid - waited until indexing has finished (searched for "." and "Text in Books (0)" menu was greyed out) - these books have not appeared on a Home screen I would appreciate an advice on how to access these books. I have quite a few books in partially read state and would like to avoid "Reset" command. Note: It was the first attempt to load books that were created/converted on a new laptop with a new version of Calibre. I am not sure whether this is important because the same books were successfully loaded on Kindle K4. All other steps were the same that worked OK for me before. |
