Kindle can no longer see my Calibre-added books and their highlights...

Mudchild · Yesterday, 08:32 AM

Hi all

New to this, so learning as I go, but basically the on/off switch got trapped under the finger strap, causing multiple restarts... which appeared to somehow trigger the disappearance of all books added to the device via calibre - and, more importantly, their highlights.

However connecting to the computer shows that all the books are still actually on the device.

Is there any way to get the Kindle to see the books again, along with their highlights? I'm imagining that just dragging all the books back on from Calibre would probably mean I would definitely not see my highlights again...

Any pointers much appreciated!

Thanks

Alex

Thankyou but I'm not finding a solution to my problem unfortunately. Calibre is showing that all my books are on the device as well as in the library on the computer. However when I disconnect the Kindle, it cannot see any of the books that are on it (apart from the donwnloaded Amazong synced ones - they're all fine).

How can I get my Kindle to see the books again?

Have you tried deleting and re-sending them?

Thankyou.

I just tried completely deleting one book (which is present on the device but cannot be seen) off the Kindle (including all associated files and folders for it) via disk access.

Calibre then correctly showed that this book was not on the device.

I dragged the back onto the device in Calibre, which then showed that it was now on the device.

Disconnected the Kindle, looked on it, but still it cannot see the book... don't know what's going on!
