WS64, love your promptness and support

I searched my Kindle for metdata.calibre but could locate only one instance. I believe the problem is because of the following:

1. Kindle Touch does not handle epub or djvu formats unlike pdf.
2. Hence Calibre can not transfer files in these two formats to Kindle. (I do not allow it to convert these files to .mobi before transfer, hence it does nothing )
3. I have to put these files on my Kindle manually.
4. Since these files are not put on the Kindle by Calibre, metadata.calibre would not have any information about these files.
5. Because File Manager is getting all its information from the metadata.calibre file it can not locate these files, which is the case with my Kindle, it can not find any of the epub or djvu files.

Please let me know if my understanding is correct. The only workaround could be for the File Manager to actually search the documents directory on Kindle to locate files with specific names. I really do not know if that's possible or advisable
