I just used the 'Send to Device' command to send some books to Kindle, but I'm not happy with the results. I'm wondering if I did something wrong in the process.

First, I did a bulk convert of all the books to Mobi, then checked to make sure that the conversion had worked and I had MOBI versions of all the books. I then used 'Send to Device' to send the books to the Kindle.

My problem is that Calibre sent some of the books to the Kindle as PDF files, which are awkward to read on the Kindle. It also sent some of the files as text, but they're usable.

My question is why did Calibre send files to the Kindle as PDF or txt files when Mobi versions were available?
