Gang,

Traded up my nook Color for the Fire today. Mostly happy but I'm having a hard time getting side loaded content to show up. Here's what I did:

1. Converted an EPUB to MOBI in calibre and took off the PDOC tag in the Mobi output options.

2. Installed Dropbox on the Fire

3. Copied file Dropbox

4. Installed ES File Explorer and copied the file into the Books directory

I thought I would see it in the carousel, but no luck. I checked the Docs area and it wasn't there either.

Any ideas?
