Hey guys

I hope I'm not starting an awfully redundant thread here.
I searched around a lot and found bits and pieces, but no satisfying answer.
So I figured a thread, dedicated to this problem, might not be the worst idea, since many people seem to have the same question.
If I'm wrong, I will be very thankful if you could just point me to the right discussion and will delete this thread to not clutter the forum unnecessarily.

But now to the point!

The Setting
My method is to convert the eBook to MOBI with the setting shown in the attached screenshot.
I do send the book via OTA to my Kindle. I know I could also send it via USB but here I read, that there is no chance for making the LRP-sync happen so..

I'm not using the quality check plugin as I couldn't quite get behind the necessity for it. And as far as I found out, it does not really improve on the LRP-sync anyway.

The Problem
The synchronization for the LRP is not exactly working for me.
Interestingly it does sometimes, but not consistently (it appears to me, that it works better to get the LRP from Android to Kindle than the other way around. Could be wrong about that, though).
I also don't get the covers since - I think - the beginning of 2019 anymore, but that is not really an inconvenience.
(It's a nice-to-have, though, but it's not focus/topic of this thread)

Also possibly of interest: the transferred eBook is listed as document, not book.

The Question
How can I make the synchronization of LRP via whispersync happen reliable again?
Switch to AZW3 or another format (if so, with which output setting)?
Is there a wrong setting?
I am missing an important plug-in?

Setup
Kindle PaperWhite 3 (2015) WiFi
Firmware Version: Kindle 5.12.2 (3569620025)
Calibre 4.2 (18 Oct, 2019)

Thanks a lot in advance for any pointers!
