Me again! Now trying to get some fanfic back into personal documents... and the Kindle won't let me!

So, I just posted about putting fanfic under the "Books" section of the Kindle Fire. However, given that *ahem* some of the fanfics I've downloaded are a bit, erm... shall we say... I don't really want them in the Books section where most people are going to look... I realized that it's probably better if I leave them in the "Personal Documents" section.

Only, now the Kindle won't put them back! I've run them through Calibre again and added the [PDOC] tag, but they're still showing up as "Books." Anyone know why this might be happening? I've already tried two customer service reps at Amazon and they have no idea. :(

Sorry for so many posts in so few days! Bit of a noobie here, lol.

EDIT: To clarify, they're all .mobi files.

LOL! I can't help you with returning them to personal docs (maybe deleting, re-converting, and re-uploading will help?) but you might want to hide them in a boring sounding collection. Reference or something ;) The first four pages of 'collections' on my ereader (a Sony T1) are "real" books. After that is my genre then fandom collections. HEE HEE

Maybe ask over here: http://ebooks.dreamwidth.org They're pretty good with technical questions, although you'll have to explain the problem from the beginning again.

All my fan fic shows as Books, I have them in a collection called XMISC. That way if i list the collections in order its the last one!
