After you remove the PDOC tag, you do have to reconvert the book in Calibre before sending to the Fire.

When I first got my Fire, I sent 234 books to it with Calibre and they each went into Documents. I deleted them from the device, removed the PDOC tag under Mobi output options and reconverted all of them. Then I sent to the FIre using Calibre. They were all in document subfolder on the device, just like on my DX but show up under books on the touch screen. Works well for me.
Yes you can use Calibre to send books to your Fire via USB. I don't use this method. I use Save to Disk as I don't care for using USB if I don't have to. If you add ebok it will make sure it goes to Books shelf as some books are stubborn and removing just pdoc doesn't work sometimes.

I don't have this issue. I've never set my device profile as Kindle it's still on Hanlin V5 so all my sideloaded books go in Books. I also put my sideloaded books in the Documents folders. Makes it easier to find them.
