Books not appearing on Kindle Fire after sending them to device

Hi all,

This happens only every once in awhile and I've searched for a solution but not finding anything. Any help is appreciated:

I load a book into Calibre successfully, convert it if needed and then send it to the device. It will show in Calibre as on the device, but when I go to my Kindle Fire to add it to a Collection it cannot be found. If I just try to search for the book on the Kindle, it does not seem to be there either.

Right now, I've got about a dozen books this happens to. I can delete them from the device through Calibre, they show back up in my library on Calibre. I delete them from Calibre completely, re-add and again try to send to the device and same thing...

But I can still add other books with no problem. Anyone else deal with this and if so, have a solution?

Sometimes the Kindle indexer chokes on certain books. You can try doing a MOBI to MOBO or MOBI to AZW3 conversion in calibre before sending the problem books.
