Nice idea.

I do have a small (netgear) router that can export the file system of a USB storage device plugged into it.
(Sort of a poor-man's, NAS thing)

This router is physically close to one of the small piles of Kindles on my desk.
I'll connect the two together, set the router option, see what happens. (It should put the Kindle's USB mass storage on the network where it can be accessed by anything on my LAN).

If everyone can hold their breath for about 9 hours, while I run some errands first ....

Note: NetGear because they take the GPL seriously - the source they ship is ship'd in "ready to re-build" state (with build scripting and directions). But the above (NAS) feature is already built-in.
OH, and this model also has built-in Wifi (two of them) and built-in ADSL modem.
