The books were actually deleted. I didn't look at the .sdr directories. I didn't make any annotations since these were not ebooks that I was editing/formatting which is my only use for annotations on my ereaders.

Did you take the time to read my message before you posted your response? Pay special attention to the part that I bolded in the quote above. BTW, K4PC is another way of saying Kindle for PC. |

I think we can provisionally conclude that when books vanish from the UI but the book files remain on the device that the cause is something other than the cdetype in the EXTH header being set to EBOK by some non-amazon process. (And that when people report disappearing books they should be clear about whether the book file was actually removed from the ereader's storage.) |

I seem to remember back when I first got a Kindle that sideloading a book, like a publc domain book, through a USB connection and the computer's file manager resulted in the Kindle treating the book as a "personal document". It did not show up in the book list and covers did not display. It went into wherever a random PDF document goes.
But I found out Calibre "fixed" the problem somehow and was able to sideload a book onto a Kindle such that it showed up in the "Books" list and covers were displayed. I have no idea how Calibre did it, but that's why I started using it. My guess now is that's the result of the difference between EBOK vs PDOC. Maybe that's not the way it works now, but I believe that's the way it worked back when I got my shiny new Kindle Keyboard. |

Is there a route I can take to try and get the Kindle to see the books and their highlights again in this case? Thanks again |
