Any device with a web browser should be able to load books from the Calibre content server. Just point the web browser to the content server address and browse away. On my Glo I can set the content server as the browser homepage, add a browser tile to the device's homescreen, and thereafter access the Calibre content server from the homescreen with one tap.
I used to be able to load books via email by sending the book to myself as an attachment and using my Glo's browser to log into Yahoo webmail and download the attachment, but Yahoo changed something with the way attachments are downloaded and so this no longer works. It might work on other webmail services, but I haven't tried any. I can download from Dropbox with no problem though.
However all this is a bit of a waste of time and battery power. It is much simpler just to load your whole library onto the device, and then you never need to worry about getting a wifi connection or using up battery downloading stuff (wifi is a massive battery hog.)
