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)

After reading your post I hooked up my DXG to my laptop and took a look at a book I had sent via Calibre email. Calibre showed it as in main with the check mark. When I looked at it using windows explorer it was in the author named folder with a mobi file extension and file name exactly as I had set it up to be in Calibre. In short, it looked exactly as if Calibre had put it there over the USB.
I did send it via Kindle.com and 3G but I can't see any reason it should be different using Free.Kindle.com and wifi. But I must admit stranger things have happened. I will know for sure in a couple of days. One of the first things I'm going to try, with my K3, is to send a book "Free" over wifi.
