- thimabi 2y agoThat happens on sideloaded books that belong to the same device as well, at least on my Kindle Scribe. These books disappear occasionally, and I have not found a consistent way to make them reappear in the UI. Sometimes they return on their own, other times they do not. Interestingly, their files remain on the Kindle’s file system.
- bambax 2y agoAh, ok. I always de-DRM everything automatically (opening books in Calibre does the de-drming). It sometimes happen with the newer systems that newer Kindle books can't be de-drmed, but then I return those immediately. But I'm surprised a book with DRM can even be added to another device than the one it belongs to, let alone be opened?
