This is very interesting. I did the same thing - converted an epub in Calibre, removing the [PDOC] tag first (with no [EBOK] tag added], and sent it to my Fire via Calibre. It did not show up on the bookshelf until I did a reboot.

The result is the same whether I send via Calibre or transfer the book via wifi to the Fire. A reboot is necessary for the newly added books to display on the bookshelf.
