If you convert a regular ebook to mobi it's marked as a Book.
If you create a periodical from a recipe, it's marked as a Subscription.
If you create a catalog from your collection, it's marked as a Subscription.

This makes things consistent with how Amazon tags their books.

Any other type of ebook - PDF, TXT, HTML - would be shown in the Personal Docs section, but this is handled on the Kindle, not as a result of how the file is marked.
