When I sync Kindle Highlights in Obsidian, books that I have deleted from the Kindle Library and which also do not appear in Readwise continue to appear in Obsidian/Readwise/Books. If I delete the books from Readwise/Books by right-clicking and selecting delete, on the next sync the books return like zombies coming back from the dead.
Can someone please save me from madness and explain this phenomena and tell me how to get books to stop syncing/downloading into Obsidian when they have been deleted, both in Kindle and Obsidian, and do not appear in Readwise?
To further complicate this, but to give further background in case this helps find a solution, the libraries of Kindle, Readwise and Obsidian do not match up.
There are 142 books in Kindle (Manage Your Content and Devices/Content), although Chrome Kindle shows there are only 131 books (Amazon Kindle: Your free personal library you can take anywhere).
Furthermore, there are only 24 Kindle books in the Readwise Library (Readwise).
And finally, there are 86 books in Obsidian/Readwise/Books.
In Obsidian, if I click on Highlight link in a book I deleted or that does not appear in Kindle Library gives an error message, “not found in archive”. Why would the book appear showing Highlights if the book has been deleted and cannot be found in the archive?
I thought maybe there were books stuck in memory, so in Obsidian, I tried to Sign Out of Kindle Highlights. It appeared to sign out of Kindle because the menu popped up to log back into Amazon, but in Obsidian the Sign Out button continues to say it’s still trying to log out and if I click the button it says unable to log out. Inconclusive.
I would greatly appreciate some help as I’m out of ideas. Thank you.
