Also, why not mentioning the tip that you can set KFX books as PDOC? Anyways, in the mean time you can hack the QualityCheck plugin to set the PDOC tag on AZW3 books. Here's a quick guide for it.

If you're not using Calibre you might also want to take a look to the Java Mobi Metadata Editor.
Thanks for sharing all that.

That guide could have been simplified a little, by telling you just to extract the check_fix.py file, edit that, and then copy it back to the QualityCheck.zip file, overwriting the original check_fix.py file. Of course you would backup the QualityCheck.zip file first.

Anyway, worked a treat for me ... not that I am aware of any of my ebooks on my Kindles having been deleted thus far.

I'm thinking of creating a BAT file, as I've done in the past, to swap in or out either version of the QualityCheck.zip file. So just using the modified version at need, but having the original be the default.

Not seen or used the Java Mobi Metadata Editor program before, and it likewise worked a treat, where I used it to manually change EBOK to PDOC, in an AZW3 file, which was simple as.

Cheers
