I've never had a book on my tablet that didn't come from Calibre and I figured I was missing something, so I checked the sticky but it really didn't say much about what should happen.

I have books on my device that don’t show up in calibre. How do I fix this?

You can ask Calibre Companion to scan the folders where it puts books. Click on the menu button, select settings, then "Scan for books on connect" to check the box. The next time you connect, CC will do the scan.
Calibre Companion does not look in folders other than the ones for formats/extensions selected in its "Book formats and folders" dialog. CC also looks only for the formats that it is willing to put in that folder. For example, If mobi and epub files are going into two different folders, CC will not scan for .mobi files in the epub folder and vice versa. If you are in this situation then you should either combine the folders or move the books to the right folder.

You must resolve this question manually. In calibre's device view, find the new book, right click, then select either add book to library or match book to library.

The book was an epub. Does that mean something else should have happened?

If only this would reduce all my confusion. Including non Calibre stuff of course.
