If you include whatever tag is listed as "Personal Document Tag" under Output -> MOBI as an tag to your ebook, then do a MOBI to MOBI conversion, and then have Calibre write the MOBI to your Fire - it will be marked internally as a PDOC and will show up under Docs. The default tag is [PDOC], but it can be anything. I use z, because that is always at the end of the list of tags that Calibre displays.

If you don't want the ebook to ever show up under Docs, then don't ever include that tag in your ebooks and the safest approach is to leave the "Personal Document Tag" blank. The reason that the [EBOK] recommendation came about is that sometimes you need to do a MOBI to MOBI conversion to get an existing ebook out of Docs (e.g. if it already has PDOC set internally). So the recommendation was to change "Personal Document Tag" to [EBOK] and do a MOBI to MOBI conversion. The [EBOK] change had no effect one way or the other, it was the conversion that mattered.
