When updating metadata in MOBI files calibre does not change the cdetype unless the PDOC tag matches. In other words, the bulletproof procedure for ensuring that your mobi files show up in books on your Fire is:

1) Delete the PDOC field in the calibre options
2) Do a MOBI to MOBI conversion
3) Send the file to your Fire with send to device
