How to configure Calibre to send books as books through usb?

rzsolti · 10-20-2025, 03:08 PM

I am having troubles with sideloading books to my kindle paperwhite 2024.

I have set up the kfx plugin to create ebok, not personal documents.
In the metadata page, i have set up the identifier field, wuch as asin:Bxxxxxxx (got the asin from goodreads's editions page)

When I use the send to device, my paperwhite shows it as a document (so, no goodreads integration). Previously, I have managed to copy books properly, but I had to reinstall and now, it is broken.

Thank you, for your help
