I have spent many hours trying to reverse engineer what exactly K4A does with the ID with the hope of being able to pass a file name instead, without success. That doesn't mean that there isn't a way, but it isn't documented and it isn't guessable, at least by me.  |
I have and use Collections for Kindle Fire app, and I have several hundred Calibre books loaded into it (when I say Calibre books, I mean mostly epub books the Calibre has converted into mobi) and if I select any one of them, and click OPEN, the Kindle Fire does indeed open the book, no problem. When I close the book, I return to the Fire's home, and the next time I enter Collections app, I enter on a edit of that books info where I may update my reading progress if I desire. Ideally closing the book would have taken me back into Collections, but the point is, Collections is able to open the Kindle Reader with the book. Collections doesn't download the books, so they are already in the Sdcard/Books folder, maybe Calibre Companion needs to download from Calibre into Sdcard/Books folder.
I use Dolphin browser instead of Silk, for that reason, when I download from Calibre server, Dolphin asks where I want to download to, and I choose Sdcard/Books.
