Sorry I should have added Calibre will convert most of these books to .mobi for the kindle so for some I have both .mobi and .epub and I assume the .mobi version has come from Calibre doing a conversion. I can only think of one PDF and that is for a public domain book about L.Ron Hubbard that I downloaded, it shows up as a book, it would also be the only one that I had emailed to my kindle because I didn't like the formatting and was hoping that might correct it (it didn't). I also ended up converting it to and from all sorts of formats to try and get the formatting better so I don't actually know how the version on my kindle now was achieved (which clearly doesn't help!) ..

So there is metadata that flags something as a book or a document? I did experiment with different converters before I found Calibre so perhaps I have done something early on that has changed this and perhaps it is simply newer books converted properly are fine.. I will try the mobi2mobi tool as suggested thanks.
