As mentioned by itimpi the calibre content server is an easy way to accomplish the same thing on most devices. Plus it will not invade your privacy. And it is kind of neat as well

You're right that it all goes through Amazon, but the end result to the user is "automatic document transmission to the device" and not "manually browse and search to get documents if you think to" - it's curious that nobody but Kindle allows it.
I get your argument about invasion of privacy and all that jazz - I'm a big EFF supporter. But, when I think of ereaders for my less-techy relatives, I don't try to convert them to the Richard Stallman philosophy before I show them how to read their books.
