Did you download them? If you wish to keep them in "My Kindle Content", you need to download them using the MANAGE MY DEVICE screen in your Amazon Account.. If you don't, the books are kept in your part of the Kindle Cloud or whatever Amazon calls it.
I have to convert any books. I prefer epub format and an Android e-ink reader.

Did you log into a different account?
With DRM you don't own the physical rights. Can't elaborate because it infuriates me to talk about. Long story short. Better off renting, it's the same difference.

If you find your books, make a backup in any file not named Kindle and store it OFF your computer!
For whatever reason, some booksellers mess with your books. I had one company try to make all my books open on their device only, and said I was forbidden to put books on the EXT. SD card. I have been using Gutenberg, Smashwords and a few other sites since I bought a reader. This bookseller had the books, they were still free, but changed the format so books would only open with their reading app.
That company got canned. I bought an Andriod ereader popular in the EU. It reads EPUB and doesn't care if it's stored in main memory or an EXT. card.

I'm still using my old, ancient, but not so decrepit Kindle Paperwhite.
I just love the thing, no bloatware, turn WiFi off while reading my books and just blissfully enjoy myself.
My daughter manages our books with her account, we bought "Unlimited free" so that if there is a special book we want, we just "borrow it" for free, and return it as soon as we finish it.
I once connected it to my PC and downloaded all of the "books", but somehow, all I got were the titles to the books. Never did investigate as to why, because I discovered real fast, that setting in my office chair and trying to read a book on the computer is not very comfortable, nor is it handy. dropped that idea fast.
Back to the Paperwhite ereader, so damn handy, goes everywhere I go.

We do download and I convert. I won't use a Kindle since it doesn't support an EXT SD card. The Vulcan is using the old secondhand one I bought for recipes.
I have to convert my stuff to MOBI for him.
