Comments.Text: Ran into this as well. Tried a few different file type conversions with calibre but none have worked thus far:
  `mobi` -> `azw3` | 
  `mobi` -> `azw3` -> `mobi` |
  `mobi` -> `mobi` |
  `mobi` -> `mobi` + replacing `[PDOC]` in the output options with `[EBOK]` |
  `mobi` -> `mobi` + switching type to `new` in the output options (which is `KFX` I believe)

  Documents and Books are treated almost identically inside the Kindle app or Kindle device. There are filtering functions to divide the view so you see only one type or another type, but generally you can see both types together.
  
  One thing: in **Manage Content & Devices**, (on the Amazon website) you need to specify Documents or Books, so you can see files you have uploaded or files which were bought.
