Thanks everyone else for their patience, too!

You can still give me as much as you are allowed to...
Good to hear you got it working. These file clashes are a pain, aren't they?
And so is penguin for not giving us real covers.
Hopefully, you learned something awesome about how everything works, of course, to aid you in your future travels....
Did I mention my custom columns for saving Amazon books back to the right place on my kindle? If you do this for a lot of books, you may want to follow some more instructions:
create a custom column called, say, "origfile" and save the original filename for all your amazon books in it.
Use this template in your Device customization for Kindle, in the save template:
Code:
program:
ifempty(
field('#file'),
template('[[author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)]]/[[title]] - [[authors:sublist(0,1,&)]]')
)
Then calibre will automatically save books to the filename specified in the "file" custom column, and if not will use the default save pattern. All Amazon books are saved back to where Amazon would place it, which means all your .sdrs match up!
WARNING: disable "send page number information when sending books" or your page numbers painstakingly compiled by Amazon get overwritten with random guesses.
Although I did tweak it to only use the first author if there are multiple.
Tried and tested for perfect calibre changes to your Amazonized books
