Are we talking of your Kpdf application here?
As mentioned in other posts, Kindles have libcurl installed and there is a binding (actually, two different bindings) for Lua to libcurl.
Note 1: I have not looked at libcurl for a long time now, if it supports WebDAV protocol, then you can leave your books on a private (or shared) cloud.
Note 2: Kindles are Linux. With the davfs2 filesystem module loaded, Linux can just mount a WebDAV cloud into the Kindles filesystem, same as any other device with a filesystem on it.
If Amazon didn't build the davfs2 module for their kernels, well, we can...
Should not be all that big a project to open a network:*.pdf rather than a file:*.pdf for Kpdf.
Let Amazon figure out how to do that with their own pdf application.
Edit: 
Amazon has provided a Lua binding to their lipc, at least in the KT-v5.1.0 image I am currently looking at.
