There's 5GB of space available which would allow you to access any of those docs via the archive option on your kindle and download as you would any normal amazon purchase.

If you're using calibre, that would be as simple as setting up the email address for your kindle account in calibre, selecting all the books you want and picking email, then leaving it to chug away converting/uploading to Amazon.

Should 5GB every become an issue, you can then look into alternatives, but it may be all you need depending on the types of books you read.

Granted, it's not the same as remote access to calibre, so whether it will work for you depends on what exactly you're looking to achieve. If it's just remote access to all your books without keeping them all on your device though and you've less than 5GB, maybe it's suitable?
