Regardless of the fact that there are people who misuse the EBOK tag, or use hacks to have the books in PDOC tags or if AZW3 and KFX are proprietary formats, there will still be clueless people who will use Calibre to sideload books (not knowing the EBOK tag will be set by default) because it has always been the go-to program to sideload books locally, only to find the book deleting bug still present some time later.

I know ignorance is not an excuse to be upset at anyone, but it still surprises me that kovid has neither given an option to set the cdetype tags or at the very least, warned the users about it, considering the large history between Calibre and Kindles.

KFX enthusiasts with the PDOC option enabled and older Kindle users are the only ones who are safe from this bug that keeps occurring.
