I keep all my ebooks and similar docs in Calibre for storage and organization.
I can drop a new file in from any of my computers and the all go to the same library. I use it to search and update metadata tags for the various PD stuff I find on the Internet, and I use it to automatically convert books between formats for my Kindle or my Sony. It can also email books to my Kindle for me, so I never have to plug the Kindle into the computer. Also, a little Alf will tell you that with 3rd party plug-ins, Calibre will transparently facilitate stripping DRM, enabling you to easily to buy from Amazon/Kobo/B&N etc and read on any device.

I've never tried out the email option in Calbre. I gather that you email your mobi books from Calibre to your free.kindle.com account, and then download them when you sync your Kindle.
Apart from accessing my entire ebook library from my T1 via the T1 browser and Dropbox, I often just go to the original file in the Calibre library, duplicate it, and just move that one file to Dropbox to download on the T1. I tried doing this with my Kindle, but Kindle doesn't play well with Dropbox.
