This is really cool.  |
One word of caution. When you send your books via Wi-fi from Calibre via your @free.kindle.com address, Amazon changes the file name to look very much like the filename that appears when you purchase/download wirelessly from Amazon. That is, there will be extra characters, the ASIN added as well as a new extension of .azw.
If you send your books to your Kindle using this method, your Calibre library will not recognize that those books have been synced with Calibre (the green check mark). One of the handiest features of Calibre is the ability to know what titles in the library are also on your Kindle. That will not be possible if books are sent via Wi-fi through your kindle address since the filename will be completley different. (i.e., no longer mybook.mobi)
