Okay - there's really two different issues here.

1. Can you email books to a Kindle if you are on the "approved sender" list.

The answer is yes. You can do it from the Kindle (absent of DRM issues), but all of my books are stored in Calibre on my Hard Drive. Calibre has as a Send By Email function which I use frequently.

2. Can you mail a book from Kindle B to Kindle A and let Kindle A read it?

HOWEVER - if you purchased the books on your Kindle at Amazon.com and have done nothing to remove the DRM, then when Person B mails the document to Person A's Kindle it won't open. DRM restricts an ebook to the Document that it is coded to work. Most books at Amazon.com are sold with DRM. There are some books sold from other places which don't have DRM.

The books are stored on the Kindle in the Documents folder. I'm guessing that your Mac just isn't showing file extensions.
