Calibre usually sets that metadata, but it might not always be present depending on your calibre settings or if the file was produced elsewhere.
I didn't realize that. Thanks for the tip.

Where is the setting in Calibre to ensure the metadata is set to book? I just quickly scanned Calibre but didn't see it.
