Now this isn't related to the Kindle Cloud Reader, is it? I've got a lot of books there.
So what happens if I do nothing? (Yeah yeah I'll (read on) have access to what is already up there in the Amazon cloud, but I'm not betting against getting a bill on my VISA that by going to the Amazon Cloud site I've signed up for the $59 package.)
And when I went to check on "my" Amazon cloud account I got to see the screen of "my" account for about a millisecond before a pop-up covered 90% of the screen, and I had to choose between one free trial or another. (When all I wanted to do was see "my" account.) Isn't that what they call a closed end question? Not good. Pushy. Strong-arming you.
I guess if you can get away with doing it, you do it. (At least some people (companies) do.)

You can close that popup (it appeared for me too) and look at the files/directories that are behind it.
There seems to be some confusion about "Send to Kindle" and storing files on the cloud. There are two different (at least) functions. There is a Send to Kindle ability to email a mobi or other document directly to Kindle. Then there is storing stuff on the cloud. If you send stuff to the cloud (for storage and retrieval later), you need the subscription. If you send to Kindle, you apparently are not using the cloud (I tested this by sending a short story/blog post). I believe you can still do things like email a mobi file (or other document) to the kindle--but NOT to the cloud. If you want to store it in the cloud, there is a charge.
But that is my current understanding.
