The metadata of a book is automatically updated when it is exported from from calibre. For KFX format the KFX Output plugin performs this update. The KFX metadata update process will change the book type from PDOC to EBOK if there is an ASIN present in the calibre library entry for the book.

The next release of the KFX Output plugin will no longer do this if you change the default setting by going to Preferences, Output options (under Conversion), KFX Output and select "Create personal document instead of book" there.

In the mean time you can prevent the change from EBOK to PDOC during export by going to Preferences, Plugins (under Advanced). Under Metadata writer highlight Set KFX metadata and then press the Enable/disable plugin button so that Set KFX metadata is grayed out. This will prevent any change to metadata after conversion to KFX.
