Hello,

I've got several (over 2000) books that I've converted to AZW3 forumat over the years and I store them on a Dropbox and just download them to my Fire's books directory when I want one. They have always shown up fine. I wanted to convert myt books to MOBI and use that format instead, but now when I download them to the fire in either the books or documents folder, they don't show up in the library. I'm using one of the newer $49 kindles. I've never had this happen with MOBI before and I have, of course, made sure that the PDIC tag isn't there. I can open and read the files on the fire in Dropbox and and I can use a file manager to read them once they are on the device, but they just won't show up in my library. I have converted about 200 to MOBI so far and thought I'd try to resolve this before I do all the others.
