I think it's the cloud where you send your MOBI books for Amazon that allows them to sync it. Since they have it in the cloud they can be sure the devices have the same book and keep on the same page.

If I dragged a book via USB it won't sync since it doesn't know about it. The USB is much more inconvenient, especially since I keep my Kindle in the car and I live on the 3rd floor.

It really is just as e-mailing it to your account. Some book sellers will even e-mail them for you! There is one time setup at Amazon to approve an e-mail address mail is allowed to send you books.
