Help please?

I have used Calibre successfully to convert books onto my kindle. I am now trying to put some onto my son's Kindle touch, but though they show up as being in the 'Documents' directory, they don't show up on the Kindle Touch to be read. Can anyone help please?

Are you sure they are the right format - mobi or azw?

Have you tried restarting the Kindle Touch?

Also I'm not sure about the Touch organizes the display but look at the top line and try resorting to All items by most recent first. Sometimes it gets changed to only show Collections or the stuff gets moved to the end of the list somehow and you don't see it where you expect.

Thanks. Yes they are all converted to mobi so they would work on the Kindle Touch as well as they work on the original kindle.

Tried a restart but that didn't work. Then I saw a setting to reset. I tried and when it restarted I had a Documents option and i could finally 'see' the books. Now i have the documents option, but no option for music or audible! Now I can't find the reset menu option, or the documents/books option.

Thanks anyway for your suggestions.

Well I don't have a Touch so I can't help you there. You might try asking down in the Kindle forum how to toggle between Documents/Audible/Music/Show All
