Yes I know that shared books via Calibre go in the docs area of Kindle.

We gave up.
Hi! I noticed something on my Calibre output settings that may be an issue.

I send books to my SIL for her iPad kindle app, and make sure that they are in MOBI format before I send. I noticed that the setting for tagging the converted books is [PDOC] - it needs to be [EBOK] in order for her to get the book as a book instead of a document.

You may need some others to verify this - I switched from 32-bit to 64-bit when I upgraded to win10, and it's been a while since I sent her anything.

Also, I sometimes would send the books from my Yahoo account to her Kindle - so the send path was Calibre (personal email) to Yahoo (yahoo email) to her Kindle (kindle email).

Hope that helps!!!
