Question Kindle and Calibre

Hi from Muizenberg in Cape Town.
This question was previously asked but I can't access it. Books are showing in Device Main Memory in Calibre but not on the kindle. I have tried All and Downloaded, as well as recent. I've restarted the kindle several times. I've tried re-sending to device but still no luck.

You're probably looking at Books. Try looking at Documents instead.

Hmmm.... I assume you can read these books using the calibre book viewer? (i.e. they aren't DRMed)

Which Kindle is it? Which format are the books in calibre?

Then I'm mystified, and let's hope someone comes along with another idea soon.

Disconnect the Kindle from the computer and reboot it. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, then wait while it reboots. See if the books are visible after the reboot.

I have managed to get the books onto the kindle. I dragged and dropped from Calibre to the device on my computer.
