Help !

My kindle library only shows the books I've bought directly from the kindle store on my kindle, but none of the books I've transferred from Calibre.

This is weird because the books are still in the memory of my kindle when I look it up in finder on mac (in kindle/documents).

This happened yesterday when I put it on wifi mode for the first time in a month. It also did this weird thing where it bought a book by accident, and I had to go in my order summary on amazon to cancel it . Maybe this is linked ?

Anyway, this is terrible because I really need my original files of those books just as they were on my kindle : I read multiple books at a time, and highlight all the important parts so that I can remember the story correctly when I come back to a book I haven’t read in a while. This is especially important for series : I sometimes will have a break in a series of 10 books, and it’s always been extremely useful to be able to read the important parts of a book I read a while ago before starting the new book in a series. This feature is the MAIN reason I got a Kindle. I have the real copy of all the books I read, and the kindle copy for this very useful reason.

Now I feel really lost as what to do, and how to get back all those books with my personal highlights, bookmarks, and reading placement.

Can somebody help ?
