It is on my TODO list to enable write support for the content server, until that time I am not going to implement this feature.

I appreciate the explanation. Like I said, I was not able to understand what your objection was from your previous comment.
Considering the work-around you previously mentioned (converting all my books to MOBI in a batch job), is there a way to determine which version was the original, and which version is the conversion, after the conversion has taken place?
Given that I now understand your objection, how about this for a new request:
Can you add an "email to kindle" button to the content server that would only show if there is a MOBI version already available, and therefore would require no conversion and/or r/w access?
