Kindle library deleted following update?
Hi all,
My Kindle recently updated itself, in the process almost all of my ebooks were deleted from my kindle! The ebooks that have been deleted are the ones that had been loaded on to my kindle via calibre and had their drm removed. The ones that had been downloaded via the amazon store still remain on the device. My questions are, is it normal for this to happen? why have they suddenly been deleted? and can I get them back without reloading them onto the device with caliber? |

You should first connect your Kindle to your PC and check "documents" folder, see if those book files are really deleted or not. If files are there but you don't see them on Kindle Home page/view make sure that it's set to "Downloaded" not "All" (All = Cloud, it doesn't display sideloaded books).

I have both a voyage and PW2 and I side load most of my books and I did not have any issues with losing any of my books. I have been seeing that books are being deleted have have been wonder why.
