How come they work for that but only show in the Docs section of the Fire?
when I have tested ( sending stuff to my daughters kindle, and to my own d for tests) , and when I consult google, reddit... I get that anything sent to amazon via email using the device's email address will appear as a personal document, not as a book. irrespective of whether the receiving device is a kindle e-ink device or a Fire tablet. Amazon themselves promote this feature as a personal document service.
but I'd be happy to be provide wrong. please give a for dummies step by step process which you think will deliver a book via the device email address as a book and I will try it. I have both paperwhite and fire tablet to test with.
the only methods I know of which get books to appear as books are via USB or via other apps.
or PM me- then you can have my xxxx@kindle.com addresses for testing and I will whitelist your from address, then you can send me a book as proof.

Personal Document Settings
Kindle Personal Documents service makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need to print. You and your approved contacts can send documents to your Kindle by e-mailing the documents to your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address.
The following will help keep your Send to Kindle email address secure:
Ensure your Send-to-Kindle email address is different than any other email addresses you use.

it could be that we are on different pages, I am referring to the personal documents service but I am aware there is also a "send to Kindle " app which can be downloaded. I think the results are the same either way though. I do recall discussing the Send to Kindle route with someone else in another recent thread and they confirmed that stuff sent like that arrives as documents, not books
