The book is a genuine amazon title, it is not some fuzzy converted pdf or the likes.

This is beginning to bug me a little... as you may have guessed
If the book is already in Calibre, then changing that setting won't do anything until you convert it to a MOBI. If the book already IS a MOBI, convert it anyway to change that setting. (Any books you brought in to Calibre while it was set to "[PDOC]" will still show as personal documents, not eBooks. Thus no WhisperSync, and they're in the wrong folder on a Fire.

Any new books you buy and import into Calibre will get the new setting assuming your import requires a conversion. If they are DRM-Free MOBI or PRC books, that would not normally be converted, you'll still have to do a mobi-to-mobi conversion to set that.
