Thanks dwanthy/Kovid/Starson17, the opf/book metadata data thing might explain why I saw dates I didn't expect in my earlier days of importing. I just knew they didn't all have the date that I added them to Calibre but not "why".

@dwanthy - yes I am aware of the adding a tag approach as I use it myself, but I kind of briefly mentioned/discarded it for them in my first post. Just one too many steps for the very basic usage I coaxed my parents into with Calibre - Add, Search, Send to device, Create Kindle Collections and Eject/Restart Kindle is all the functionality they really need to know about and even that occupied a page or two of carefully documented steps in language they could understand. Not the most comfortable users of a PC - and yes some might argue Calibre is then not the right program for them but once it is setup it does exactly what they need it for so worth a try.

Chocolate brownie goes to Perkin for the best guess as to my location. I was up the coast north of Sydney in Australia and now back home feeling like a stale pretzel.
