Hope this helps.
That is okay as far as it goes, except that Personal Documents service does not support KF8 format yet.

Moreover, just because that's often 'best' for some situations, it doesn't obviate the desire to download directly from web sites directly (Gutenberg, Dropbox etc.) or as email attachments, without having to resort to using file managers and restarting. All of these alternatives should work more conveniently also.
