Update: After investigating the device files, it appears you can recover notebooks (not note pages) which are deleted in the `.notebooks` folder. If you copy the notebook-id folder and overwrite it to an empty one, it will still read the SQLite file and it will display correctly, but you can’t export it anymore for whatever reason. With that in mind, if individual pages were deleted due to whispersync, then recovering it from the file system is no dice since they are overwritten when synced to the internet.

Also a sidenote: I tried reaching out to Amazon through the chat feature, and their customer support was atrocious. I was transferred to about 7 different reps and none of them understood the problem was related to notebooks and not eBooks. Eventually they forwarded it to the cis(at)amazon.com support team, sent a generic response, “expect to get a reply in 6 hours”, and then never bothered to reply after 5 days. Also don’t follow their generic troubleshooting to deregister your device, doing so deletes all local notebooks, and since they don’t get synced to the cloud properly, the affected notebooks are gone forever.
