The "which came first" argument is not relevant here... if it were, I would just point out that I was managing webservers before Baen, Kindle, or Palm existed.
If Baen wants people to be able to download prc's directly to the Kindle via the Kindle's browser, they need to change the Content-Type on their server to 'application/x-mobipocket-ebook' for files with the extensions .mobi or .prc. That's the solution.
Since you remain convinced that this is something that Amazon should fix, I wish you luck with a solution and gracefully withdraw from the discussion.
