ETA: I meant to clarify, I sent her a non-DRM book from this Mobile Read library It seems the problem she was having with the Kindle store was a conbination of her own tech cluelessness, and the Great Firewall of China. It looks like I will have to manually email her the books for side-loading. Fortunately, I have numerous omnibus books like HarryT's Sherlock Holmes one, so I won't have to deal with TOO many files...
If you do a shareble link to a folder in Dropbox. She just needs the url and a browser to get access to the folder, no account needed. You can only share the folder by going to Dropbox's site under the File tab, check the folder you want to share then choose the "more" button on menu at the top and then click "Get Shareble link" from the dropdown options. Then you can email them the link and they can download from the folder directly.
