This sounds to be more of a Kindle/Kindle app issue than a Calibre issue. You might have better luck asking in either the Kindle or the Apple device subforum.

There's one thing you shouldn't do, though: You shouldn't manually copy the MOBI from Calibre's library folder, and you don't need the metadata.opf at all. There's a lengthy explanation available, the short version is that Calibre isn't designed to operate that way- you should keep out of its library folder. If you connect your Kindle to the computer via USB, Calibre should recognize it and you can then transfer books to the Kindle by selecting "send to device". If you don't want to do that and have a WiFi/3G model, you can also email books to your device. Similarly, for the iPhone, you can use the "connect to iTunes" feature and then send the book to the iPhone "device".
Thanks very much for the help i will have a read and give things a try then post my results!
