@ -565,6 +565,22 @@ problem for *some* calibre users.
* Try resetting the Kobo (sometimes this cures the problem for a little while, but then it re-appears, in which case you have to reset again and again)
* Try only putting one or two books onto the Kobo at a time and do not keep large collections on the Kobo
I tansferred some books to my Kindle using calibre and they did not show up?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Books sent to the Kindle only show up on the Kindle after they have been
*indexed* by the Kindle. This can take some time. If the book still does not
show up after some time, then it is likely that the Kindle indexer crashed.
Sometimes a particular book can cause the indexer to crash. Unfortunately, Amazon has
not provided any way to deduce which book is causing a crash on the Kindle.
Your only recourse is to either reset the Kindle, or delete all files from its
memory using Windows Explorer (or whatever file manager you use) and then send
the books to it again, one by one, until you discover the problem book. Once
you have found the problem book, delete it off the Kindle and do a MOBI to MOBI
or MOBI to AZW3 conversion in calibre and then send it back. This will most
likely take care of the problem.
