If you enter ;dm in the search box your kindle will create three log files with names like all_system_logs_as_of_Thu_Feb_1_10.00.54_EST_2024. txt in the documents folder. This would need to be done within a fairly short time after the deletion occurred since the logs only contain recent data. Those logs might reveal more details about what triggered the deletion of the book files.

As jhowell suggested I turned on wifi and stared at my ereader for a few minutes and suddenly one by one the collection folders I have disappeared except for one. I had folders labeled Horror, Fiction, Historical Fiction, Star Trek and Fantasy. The Historical Fiction folder remained no books disappeared in it. All books were sideloaded using Calibre and all books purchased from Amazon.
I then typed in ;dm in the search box and found four folders named
all_systems_logs_as_of Thur_Feb_1_08.42.19_GMT-7.57100_2024
al_nettlog_logs_as_of_Thurs_Feb_1_08.42.19_GMT-7.57100_2024
winninfo_logs_as_of_Thurs_Feb_1_08.42.19_GMT-7.57100_2024
all_wpa_supplicant-logs_as_of_Thur_Feb_1_08.42.19_GMT-7.57100_2024
The folder listed winninfo was empty the three other folders were massive files. I have no idea what any of this means.
I then set my reader down and went to get my tea and came back and my collection folders were back except for one, the fantasy folder. My four fantasy books were in the uncollected folder.
I don’t know if this helps jhowell.
