Almost all the ebooks I have, have been run through Calibre to convert them from other formats to Mobi. Some have been "converted" from Mobi to Mobi to add updated metadata and covers.
The main issue is fixing the ones with covers not showing up, without having to run them through the conversion process again.
A Calibre plugin that does that would be very nice, especially if it can show which books do or don't have the enable sharing setting so only the ones without it need to be altered. Ought to be a built in feature of Calibre to make that and other changes without having to do a conversion process.
I do not use Calibre to manage my ebooks. I only use it for conversion for Kindle. After converting I copy them manually to a Books folder on my phone's SD card and also to the Kindle folder in the fixed "SD card" internal storage.
Many times I've had several sideloaded books end up missing (especially free ones from Baen) from my kindle folder on the phone, so I make sure to have a backup copy that is under my control, not relying on some program to manage them. I only read on my phone so synching between devices isn't a need for me.
