That strikes me as a calibre issue, not an Amazon problem.

Perhaps Sirtel or zzjing could share how they modified the QualityCheck plugin and/or share with kiwidude (QualityCheck plugin creator) and ask him to incorporate it into the plugin.

(Personally, it doesn't matter to me since I use Send-to-Kindle to transfer all my personal docs — yes, yes, I know Amazon is going to steal my soul as a result, blah, blah, blah ... — but sharing this modification may calm some of the uproar over here among those who want to sideload via USB.)

ETA: If anyone's willing to use Sigil, Doitsu's KindleGenQt plugin can be modified to create AZW3 with cdetype PDOC.
