Get rid of ES File Explorer. It's malware now. You don't want it on your device.

My understanding what you are doing is a work around. You are opening a book to get the Kindle library app to recongize it. If you drag and drop book onto the SD Card they do not show up without opening it. This is due to the SD card not being supported officially.

You could use Calibre Companion as a work around. It will open the book however in older versions of Kindle Fire when opening a book located outside of the Books folder it won't give you access to all features. Let me test this and get back to you if that fixed or not.

Edit: There is no way to auto add the books without opening it that I can see. However it seems to fully open with all features.
