There is absolutely no need to use calibre to sideload books. If you copy files of the right format to the device, they will be imported when the device is disconnected. What you did was to copy a file to the device that it did not consider was a book. And hence it ignored the book.

Calibre is useful when you have lots of books, or books in multiple formats and need to convert them. But, it can all be done without calibre.
