It seems to be designed primarily for 'documents' of the traditional type: PDF, .doc, .txt rather than Kindle content. After all there is the more full featured Personal Documents service for the latter. I'd rather they got rid of the file size limit on that, as I would not be banging my head over the failure of ACD to do what I want it to.

At any rate, I've come to the conclusion that if one wants to use ACD for extra Kindle storage, it will be better to use the web browser to access and download stuff, just as you would to access content from gutenberg, calibre server etc. Now of course _that_ could be more convenient: they should redirect Kindle files to /Documents instead of /Downloads.
There is always Dropbox which lets you export the file to the folder of your choosing. I believe Copy.com's app does too.

They use to allow mobi but you may be right. I felt they have been trying move away from the mobi format on personal documents.
