This is the same behavior one sees with any device. Reason: calibre identifies books on a device by its filename. The filename includes the extension. Two different formats for the same book will have different extensions therefore different filenames, so they are two different books.

The only reason I mentioned it is because you said I would get the best results from epub and azw3 formats. Most of my books were available in epub and azw3. Yet they were transferred it mobi.

Epub and azw3 can contain the calibre metadata in the book. Mobi cannot. If mobi was transferred then it is because mobi has a higher priority.

I am not sure how one can say this isn't a bug involved. When I use calibre to send documents to my kindle it sends all of them. When I use calibre to save documents from the library on my Kindle to my computer it does exactly that. But if I activate the wireless service, and calibre acknowledges my phone as a device just as it would a Kindle I don't get the same results.

If you use calibre's send-to-device to send something to a device, any device, it sends exactly one format for each book, the highest in the list of acceptable formats. From calibre's point of view there is no difference between a kindle, the wireless device, or some other ereader. As far as calibre is concerned they are the same kind of thing -- a device.
If you don't get the same results then you aren't doing the same thing.
