In case you're wondering why some converted books show up as personal docs and others as "real books." That, too, is controlled by metadata entries.
If you buy a book from Amazon, it'll add ASIN metadata entries and download a cover thumbnail to the device. If you convert an epub, it won't have these ASIN metadata entries and the book will show up with a personal banner.
If you manage your books with Calibre, Calibre will automatically add fake ASINS and generate cover thumbnails when you synchronize your books.
For more information, see
this thread.
BTW, enjoy Momo, it's a great read.
