Find the box that says Personal Doc Tag: [pdoc]
Delete [pdoc] from the box and reconvert book.
It should now show up with your other books on the Fire.
You can set Calibre to permanently do this in
Preferences/Output options/MOBI output.
Find the box that says Personal Doc Tag: [pdoc]
Delete [pdoc] from the box and click apply at the top.
Note: If you don't care about the books showing up in the carousel then just email them to your Kindle. This will use the Personal Documents Cloud and you will be able synch those without modifying them in Calibre.

I have followed these directions yet every third to fourth book I add using Calibre shows up in documents. I can't be the only person who can't understand simple directions, can I?
I use the convert book (brown book) box at the top of the Calibre page; along the left hand side of the new page under Mobi output I have deleted the [pdoc] label even though there is seldom one there. I also set up preferences for permanent deletion of pdoc; yet the books still insist on going to documents. Please help - and please tell me what to do in a simple way.
BTW - has anyone figured out how to best handle series of books on kindle? The series I have added do not show the name in books - only the book cover. How are people handling this?
Thanks - I'm a newbie and I love my KF - giving one to my husband for Christmas!
