Then in Device view select the book and paste or type the Library title into search. Then on Device menu, "Update Metadata".
Go back to library view and the added book now has a tick in Device Column.

I tried to do this, but got lost after "check all the Calibre metadata..." I think perhaps the instructions assume greater familiarity with Calibre than I have, or I'm being hopelessly literal about the instructions. (Also, my device menu has "Update cached metadata on device"; is that the same as "Update Metadata"?)
In any case, I sent a book to my Kindle from Amazon and copied it to my Calibre library by right-clicking and choosing "Add books to library." I then deleted the download from the Kindle and attempted to send it back to the device. I got a window (wasn't clear to me how to insert a screencap in the message here but it's attached) asking "Autoconvert the following books before uploading to the device? [Yes] [No] [Show details...]
If I click "No," no file is copied. If I click "Yes," the KFX file is converted to an AZW3 file and is sent to the Kindle. (They don't look exactly the same on the Kindle, but the differences are minor.)
So I guess my question is this: Is Calibre unable to send the KFX file back to the Kindle without converting it?
Thanks.
