Other cloud storage besides Amazon??
Is it possible to upload books to an alternative cloud storage and then when wanted download them to a Kindle ereader? And if it is possible what are some good options?

Dropbox is what I use. The Kindle can recognized from it's web browser the mobi file and downloads it to your ereader.

I have no idea. I've never tried to download a AZW3 file. Someone here I am sure can answer that.

If they have a Mobi extension it does. Never tried with any other extension.

With Dropbox do you have to keep the files in the folder on your computer or is there a way to be able to remove them and yet keep the uploaded books in the cloud storage?

I don't do the PC sync thing for Dropbox. I just do it through the browser anymore since I had a fairly bad mishap with deleting files in the "folder" thinking they'd still be on the cloud and they were all gone. Maybe there's some setting I missed, but I'm not sure.

Ah ok. I had done it via the folder and when I tried removing the folder from my computer the files vanished too. Will have to try uploading them via browser. Thanks.

That's the way DB works. Everything in your DB folder is the same as what's on your DB Cloud space. If you want it to not do this you have to do a selective sync instead a full one.

Example: I have my Calibre Library in my Dropbox Folder on my Desktop and it's on the Cloud but I do not want it downloading 9 GB to my Netbook so on my Netbook I have Dropbox program set through Preference/Advanced/Selective Sync to not sync that folder to my netbook.

You know... it's funny how things all synchronise..

Imagine a device where it would be possible to manage your own style of storage... we are.

Good thoughts all. Perhaps something new this way will come.
