Both with the send to kindle application and email they always appear as a document in my Kindle.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the distinction between a "book" and "document" on your Kindle is inconsequential.

The items your Kindle labels "book" are Amazon purchases . . . while the items your Kindle labels "document" are non-Amazon purchases that you added via email, the send-to-Kindle app, or sideloaded via Calibre or USB.

But besides that label (book vs document) which appears under the title, your Kindle doesn't treat them differently. "Books" and "Documents" sort together, display the same, function the same, etc.

There's really no difference besides that small label under the title, which serves merely to distinguish between Amazon purchases and non-Amazon purchases.

So I'm wondering why it matters to you whether the stuff you're adding is labeled "document" instead of "book"? (This question isn't meant as a challenge. I have OCD, so lots of things matter to me that are inconsequential or irrelevant to other people. I'd be a hypocrite to judge other people for such things. And I certainly understand how frustrating it can be to post a question on a form, only to have people to dismiss your concern rather than offer a solution. I'm asking out of genuine sincerity, to try to understand your objection.)
