So I have a Kindle Fire. And I have Calibre. I have about 100 hundred books in my Calibre and I'd like to put them on my Fire, but I'm having some issues.

Let me give an example.

I have a series of books. All are from the same source. All are .mobi. I have gone through and organized the books and altered the metadata to make sure they have the correct covers, etc.

I transfer them to my kindle. I disconnect my Fire from my computer.

Half the books don't appear under my "Books" tab.

I can navigate to them when I plug the fire back into my computer and see the files sitting there, but from the Fire itself they do not appear.

After a careful review of the files I have found that each book has three files associated with it.

1.) .apnx
2.) .mbp
3.) .mobi

The books which have all three files on the Kindle show up just fine. The books that do not have the file with the .mbp extension do not appear.

How can I fix this?

Thank you for your help.
