kindle fire does the same odd names thing with documents. I was trying to figure out last night why some files apparently in cloud drive documents would stubbornly not download, btu others would, and learned that
1. KF syns its docs record with cloud only wehn it feels like it - so changes made by using PC to log in to cloud folder we not visbel on KF - maybe they will show ups eomtime today
and
2. docs are downloaded to a very obscure location ( NOT into the olcal folde called documents) and are given gobbledy gook names.
I concluded its far better to put any wanted docs i nto calibre & use CC, or put hem into drop box & fro there into a local folder known to adobe reader.
Amazon seem to delibaratly obfuscate the who area, and I don't think their design copes with you going in with other apps to move, rename , delete, stuff. I think that is jhy some foles now stubbornly refuse to download, I get "cannot connect to sever" but I think that really means "that file is not where we thought it is so we can't find it " !
in the same obscure android/data/amazon.com.xxxx... folder where I eventually found a test pdf that amazon had downloaded as a document from cloud, I also found over 100 empty folders all with gobbledygook names, I think it creates a sub folder for each doument, and does nto clean up after itself.
