There are two end-user data storage areas. One you can see over the USB cable connection and one that you can not see over USB cable connection. Looking at the file system structure from the "inside" of the Kindle ... /mnt/us/* <- that is the one you can see over the USB cable. /var/local/* <- that is the one you can NOT see over the USB cable. The second one is where the user specific database file live, along with a lot of other interesting things. And yes, it also gets cleared/reset when you "Reset" the Kindle. The content collections database is: cc.db as named by one of the more creative Lab126 persons. The name of the interactive SQL application pre-installed by Amazon (available from the Kindle's command line) is: sqlite3 How to use it (google can probably find you hundreds more) is here: https://www.sqlite.org/docs.html |

The Amazon system update images do not include end-user data. It can't, the end-user data does not belong to them, it belongs to the end-user. |

Now, everything is fine and as it was, I could very well close the thread. Yet, I am very curious to know what might have happened! Too bad I don't have any log to share of that period! |

Thanks.
I do better at describing things than I do at solving problems. |
