I've got a .azw3 file that works great when it's side-loaded to a Kindle Oasis 2, either by simply dragging and dropping into the documents folder or by sending it via Calibre (only the latter preserves the cover), but when it's downloaded via the experimental browser, it never appears in the library, even though the browser confirms the download and I see it in the documents folder.

In contrast, I have a .azw3 that was converted by Calibre a few years ago that I can still download to the Oasis via the browser and it shows up fine.

The only difference I can think of is that the more recent file went through the Hyphenate plugin. Would that cause it to not download correctly?
