Kovid:

Thanks.

Can you tell me what file types/extensions that Calibre sends to a Kindle Fire (1st model shipped) by default?

I send .MOBI books to my device from my HDD via email and when I look in the folders on my Kindle Fire, they are showing up as .MBP and .PRC files with names such as OUU3HZ65CIZQZKHIVTUUHS2UVPBPN6CI_PDOC.

Books that are sent to my device directly from Amazon are also in .MBP and .PRC formats.

When books come over from Calibre, they come over as .APNX & .MOBI and their Book Names that have been set up in Calibre are intact (which I much prefer).

Is there something in Calibre's configuration that I have set up wrong?

I'll remove the books that I had Calibre send over when I noticed they weren't being seen.

If someone can verify the file types that are supposed to be sent over from Calibre, I'd appreciate it!
