Is it my settings or what I am at my wits end with this.

well at least they got there

1. try installing calibre companion - there is a free demo/trials version and see how that route works

2. it will help if you set out the complete, detailed, workflow that delivered the AZW as a document i.e. where did you get the book from and in what format, how did you get it into calibre.... are you then using send to device in calibre menu options ?

3. it may be a calibre setting - you could re do a conversion after switching to / forcing calibre default settings to be used ans see if that makes any difference

4. also, it is a long time since I did the set up calibre to work with a new device process, but is there an option to let calibre manage the device and are you using that? AFAIK a book has to be placed in the device's books folder to appear as a book but calibre should know and take care of that. If you have a file manager on the kindle fire, can you look to see what folder the books have been placed in?
