I can't even browse my Calibre library away from home with either my Kindle or the Fire much less load books from it.
Why can't you install Calibre Companion onto your Fire? I have it on mine, installed from the Amazon Appstore.

I had heard it wasn't compatible with the Fire. Is there any special steps you have to go through to install it?

Assuming you have WiFi: the calibre content server. Or dropbox and calibre2opds.

I just went to the Amazon store and installed it from there...nothing special at all.

I guess it's just a matter of preference, but I only use my kindle to read the handful of books that I want at the time, and for which 2GB is way more than enough. Of course that I would take 4GB for the same price though, but for me is not relevant. I have a library of over 5k ebooks which I keep organized with calibre in several computers or hard drives, but i wouldn't overload my kindle with lots and lots of books that I don't plan to read for awhile.

Kindle DX doesn't even have Wi-Fi but I can still transfer files from any tablet to Kindle DX or any other e-ink over Wi-Fi (not 3G or Bluetooth) without PC/laptop/netbook.

How ?

Using external wi-fi HDD or some 40-50 $ Wi-Fi enclosure.

Just connect your e-ink reader over usb cable to wi-fi enclosure and using tablet's app transfer the files from enclosure or tablet to e-reader.

You can also connect usb memory stick to wi-fi enclosure beforehand and then after transferring the files unplug memory stick and plug in a e-reader to transfer those files to reader (in the case that you cannot connect usb memory stick and tablet directly e.g. non-jailbroken iPad).
