The workaround I am using is this: I installed Bluestacks (an Android emulator) on the Mac and the Kindle app in there. I does not support retina resolution, is a bit clunky for navigation but once in the document, I can browse the ebook and it even supports copying of content which then can be pasted into my writing...
The philosophy behind personal docs is that they give you a method of reading documents that you have on your PC or Mac on portable Kindle devices. Given that you have the original document on your PC/Mac, you can already read it there. Can you give an example scenario under which you'd have a document on your PC, send it to Amazon, and then want to re-download it from Amazon to read on your PC again? Could you not simply read the original document that you sent to Amazon in the first place?
