AFAIK ,the appear as documents not books issue is only when you email them via send to Kindle, not when you sideloaded via usb
Calibre manages everything for me, decides where to put them.... That has worked for all my various Kindle models
Dear STUMPED,

thank you a lot for your suggestion. Although before my post I had tried putting AZW format into my Kindle by converting from MOBI and it still showed as a document, after your advise I decided to try and convert to AZW from EPUB, not from MOBI, so I did these conversions:

MOBI -> EPUB -> AZW

and it worked! Now it shows as a book!

However there is still two things I would like to fix:

1. I cannot share some passages in the book. When I highlight something in SHARE command is not active. Is there a way to fix this? Coverting back to MOBI (MOBI -> EPUB -> AZW -> MOBI), where I can tick the box "Enable sharing of the book content" brought the book back into documents category, so I cannot do that if I want to keep it in the books category.

2. The cover that I added to the book in Calibre shows in home view, but as soon as I go into my Library in the grid view it doesnt show the cover. This is strange, because there are some other books that I have uploaded to Kindle that do show their cover in the Library view. Is there any advise you could give me here?

Anyways, thank you again for your help and contribution!

Victor
