I don't keep a copy of my documents on Amazon, usually, so when I download I tend to go to Amazon and erase the copy. [It's because most of the documents / fics I send aren't going to be kept after being read.]

So, why email to Kindle as preferable over side-loading? For me it's ease of use. I don't have to remember to hook up my Kindle, no wires needed. Just grab a mobi file of whatever I want, wherever I am, and off it goes so that I get it the next time I connect to wi-fi.

I go through a lot of fanfiction every day, which are often presented with mobi or PDF files, so I can send the group of "read later" fics throughout my day and have a nice grouping waiting for me. It's very convenient.
