Receiving e-mails from you does not mean receiving books from you.

What I do is click on a book in calibre and then send to say joeblogs@kindle.com ?

You can only send books to your own Kindle account. It would, needless to say, be copyright infringement to send a copyrighted work to someone else's Kindle.

I have had authors email their books to my kindle. I am not sure what format they used but I know I had to approve them.

Knowing that you may be the holder of the world's record for the number of recipes packed into a single kitchen -

Amazon sends things authored by Lab126 to my Kindle(s), not only without my approval, but often even without my knowledge.

Isn't the sauce for a goose the same as the sauce for a gander?

Ah, but you did approve when you agreed to Eula.
And yes to your question.

Is your wife's kindle on your account?

Oh wait, are the emails being bounced to you?
Check cousin's settings.

Have you made your wife a member of your "Amazon Family" but not done the same for her cousins?

Are you sure that you have the email set up correctly in Calibre? https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...-using-calibre
