If I close the email, there's no trace of the book anywhere. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I just got the Fire over the weekend and found Calibre this morning, so I'm pretty green still, I've spent a while looking for an answer, obviously, not quite long enough. Thanks in advance for any advice.
No need to use USB install ES File Explorer. You can use the LAN feature from ES File Explorer to copy your files over to your Fire. You could also use Dropbox and install dropbox on your desktop and your Fire and move files over that way. I never use a USB cable.

I use either method then use File Expert to add the books to my Book shelf by opening them with the Kindle app.
