BUT the file still only shows up as a pdoc, and that is the bit that is frustrating me, I have checked the settings, i have made sure the default in the conversion is [EBOK] and have done this a few times now.

The ? is, following these steps, should the entry appear on the "manage your kindle" as a book or a personal document?

Thanks in advance for the patience

I know that emailing and stuff works and i can catch up where i got to on either unit, it is just the fact i like to have things as they should be, aka pedantic old git

Cheers
I would delete the file from your personal docs in Amazon. Not in the ebook section (if you bought the book from Amazon) but the personal doc section since you said you had originally emailed the book to your personal docs @ amazon. Delete the book from your iPad also. Then maybe delete the book from Calibre and reimport it. Then try everything.
