I nice idea, but I suspect it won't work.

If you sideload books, they are copied to the file system while the KT is in state that presents itself as a USB mass storage device. When it is disconnected from the PC it restarts, finds any new books and processes them.

So, to do what you want, you would need to be able to see the KT and copy files to it. Then trigger the processing or write directly to the database. I doubt if the KT presents its file system in any way that would be accessible when it is running. But, there have been some people who have hacked the KT to give them telnet access. Doing this might lead to a way to access the file system. Search the forums, for how to do this.

taming's suggestion of dropbox is probably the best way. Or, if you can browse to the phones storage or other local storage from the KT's browser, you would be able to download books from there.
