Don't know for sure but the manual implies you can add books via USB.

The Kindle support page states that the Amazon conversion service can be used to deliver converted content to your Amazon default email address for free in addition to directly to the Kindle for a charge. here is the passage:
In addition to the commercially available titles sold in the Kindle store, you can also read personal documents on your Kindle. Each Kindle has a unique e-mail address, allowing you and your contacts to send attachments (Word and picture files) directly to your Kindle for a small fee or to your default Amazon e-mail account for free.

The Amazon site states that the newspapers are not complete. It sounded like all the text content was present but said that some images and charts would be missing in addition to crosswords. For example the following is from the San Jose paper description:
The Kindle Edition of San Jose Mercury News contains most articles found in the print edition, but will not include all images and tables. Also, some features such as the crossword puzzle, box scores and classifieds are not currently available.
