Calibre stores ebooks as personal doc in Kindle Fire (no [PDOC] tag problem)

[JesusMDiaz]

I was using Calibre with no problem against my Kindle Fire. I converted EPUB to MOBI removing the [PDOC] tag in order the ebooks were stored as books and not as personal docs.

But since Calibre 0.8.51 upgarde, I can't store any book under books sections instead of personal docs one.

I've tried differents options at configuratios page, even adding the [EBOK] tag with no success.

I've also tried to upgrade to Calibre 0.8.52, but the behavior is the same. Ive even downgrade to 0.8.50, but it still fails. Maybe some configuration has been changed.

My Kindle Fire firmware is 6.3.1_user_4107720.

Tested with two different devices with same firmware.

Make sure the share not sync option under mobi output is not set. If it is set,
the KF will treat the files as personal docs.

Tested with the option set and alse unset. Both ways with same result: the book stored as a personal doc.

Also, I've sent books already converted long time ago ... and now they are stored as personal doc.

I tested it on my Kindle Fire and with the option unset files sent with calibre
show up in books. Here are the steps you need to do:

1) Make sure that the personal doc tag setting is blank
2) Make sure the share no sync option is unset in Preferences->Output
Options->MOBI Output
3) *Reconvert* all books to mobi or azw3
4) delete them from the fire
5) resend.

I got it. And I found what I was doing different: the problrm was that despite the share no sync option was unset in 'Preferences->Output', int was set at 'Convert->Output'

Why? I mean ... the convert options weren't supossed to be inherited from the global options?
