This seems to get us around the 50MB limit on documents (it is now 2GB). I was able to upload such a file and then download it to a device. Hooray!

However, I was not able to move one of my .azw3 (kf8-only) and see it on a device. Maybe I was not patient enough.

It will be interesting if this bypasses the 'sanitizing' of files that goes on when you use send-to-kindle. I used to rely on it to strip source archive but that doesn't seem to be happening now (file size remains more or less the same).

At any rate, this is a very nice option to have.
