Documents to Books

Hi,

I'm a fresh owner of PaperWhite 3 (2015, Wifi) device with firmware 5.8.2 installed. I successfully sent few books using amazon email to it. However they reside as "Personal Documents" and not books.

I would like to organize these books using Calibre bat I can't find info how to move them from "Personal Documents" to "Books".

Is it possible to move/edit them to appear in Books section and organize them in Library?

Thanks for any help.

If you send books by email amazon always marks them as personal documents. Send books using the USB connection if you want them to not be marked as personal documents.

Docs to Books

Hi,

thanks for such a quick answer. Yes - it works. When mob file is sent to device using Calibre it indeed ends as a book .

One more question If a my ask:
I noticed the book I just sent to PaperWhite device won't sync with Amazon cloud. There's no book in Amazon Library web. Is it normal?

BR

Unfortunately, yes.

Books transferred via USB to your Paperwhite are not in the Amazon cloud.

Books sent to the Amazon cloud via email (or other routes) show up as personal documents, not books.
