I use Calibre to manage ebooks I obtain from any source other than Amazon. I have an old Droid 1 that I installed the Kindle app on. I'm able to have Amazon send ebooks to it with no problem. But I have been unable to send ebooks from Calibre to the Droid and have the K4Android app even see them, much less open them.

When the Droid is connected to my PC, Calibre sees it and offers me a "send to device" option. But I can't get Calibre to realize I want to send .mobi files to the Droid. It wants to send .pdf or .epub files, and when it asks whether to autoconvert the .mobi file and I click no, it doesn't send anything at all! Calibre does have a "send specific format to device" option, but when I select it for a book I only have stored in .mobi format, it only gives me the choice of epub or pdf formats to send it in. K4Android doesn't seem to read .pdf files and anyway I want the resizing options only offered on mobi and possibly prc files. I can't find anything in setup to select the "send to device" format(s) or location. Also, Calibre puts the (converted to the wrong format) ebooks in the eBooks directory on the Droid, NOT the Kindle directory. And the Kindle app apparently doesn't see ebooks in the eBooks directory. To get non-Amazon books on the Droid, I'm having to manually copy them from the Calibre sub-directory on my PC to the Kindle directory on the Droid - can you say "pain?"

I'm running v. 0.7.50 - I'll update to the most recent version if it will fix this problem but otherwise I'd just as soon not bother. The only relevant field I could find in Calibre was under "Behavior" where I have "preferred output format" set to mobi. If this is just a stupid-user problem, please tell me what I'm doing wrong!
