My suggestion: Download Calibre, let it manage your ebook library and fix up the .MOBI files (some are very likely not fully Kindle friendly), and use it to send them to the Fire via USB. That will make your whole Kindle life much easier.

And, as a special bonus, there is a very helpful Calibre forum here in MobileRead!
Also, what I did was to change the MOBI output tag to [EBOK] and then re-converted (yeah, I know, it sounds weird). Calibre moved the books over for me, and even tho they are in the Documents folder, they show up under Books on the KF.

I second (or third?) the suggestion about Calibre. Great program!!
