I don't have any partial files at the moment, if I download a few at a time the system doesn't seem to jam up as much.

If the 2 files match and are full_title_asin.kfx and full_title_asin.sdr they're usually fine.

eg: A Garden of Stars_B0F2WRNY6J.kfx and A Garden of Stars_B0F2WRNY6J.sdr.

The incomplete downloads are usually only the asin with no title

eg: B0F2WRNY6J

If you sort by date rather than name, files might list as "today at 5:45 pm" "Jun 7,2025 at 6:29 am" or more oddly "tomorrow at 4:33 am"

If alot of files are still not showing on the kindle or opening even though the kindle thinks they're downloaded, I'll go in and delete the most recent and resend.

If it's only a few then I'll only delete those specific titles and resend.

I avoid the whole sided loaded book issues by using epubs and send to kindle combined with metadata plugboard so the author name loads in the current kindle sorting method.

But if I was going to side load to kindle I would do as recommend above, calibre > preferences > conversion > output options > mobi output > kindle options [ebok] vs [pdoc] .

Though I'd choose AZW3 output rather than mobi output and not have to mess with ebok vs pdoc.

But it's been so long since I've sideloaded books I'm probably forgetting steps.

Good luck.
