When transferring to device-“Sample” tag

When I export new books to my kindle, either by email or direct transfer via USB, it will show up as a sample on the kindle. Sometimes the whole book is there, sometimes just the first 1-2 chapters. When the whole book is there, when you get to the end it will take me to the book purchase option within the kindle.

When I view the books in Calibre book viewer the entire book is present. All books are either original MOBI format or ePub that has been converted to MOBI.

Any idea why they keep showing up as “Sample” after transferring to my kindle??

Does it have the (bogus) Tag 'Sample' in the metadata? This may be detected by the Kindle.
