Email the book to your Kindle's email address, then go to "Manage Your Kindle" and select "Transfer via USB" to get the resulting KF8 file, which you can then sideload to your Kindle.

I have looked into this, and it does look like the service is still running on amazons site, but you have to do a bit of leg work.
You can put this into your browser:
Code:
http://cde-g7g.amazon.com/FionaCDEServiceEngine/FSDownloadContent?type=PDOC&key=<ASIN>&fsn=<Serial of your Kindle>&device_type=<device Type ID>&customerId=<Customer ID>&authPool=Amazon
To get most of those values, here is what I did.
Went to amazon and selected Manage Content and devices.
Choose to view my books.
Right click on the page, and choose inspect element.
Switch the inspector to the "Network" panel.
Select the book and from the expansion menu choose "Download &transfer via USB"
Select my kindle from the dropdown and hit "Download"
The network inspector will show me all the web urls my pc tries to hit, and I can get the second to last request which looks like this ( values changed to protect me )
Code:
http://cde-g7g.amazon.com/FionaCDEServiceEngine/FSDownloadContent?type=EBOK&key=BOOK00004&fsn=G090G100000000000&device_type=A##########&customerId=A2##########&authPool=Amazon[/url]
Once I had my "key", " fsn", "device_type", and "customerId", I can move to the next part.
In the neteork pane I hit clear
On web page switch to documents.
The first couple entries in the network pane will look like:
"ref=myx_ajax"
You can select each of those and make sure the network view is showing the "response" section.
You can look in those for the personal document you are looking for. What you need to find is the "asin" of the personal doc. It will be very long, like this.
ABCBABAB12313133ASDJAKSDJ123123AS
Plug all those values into that URL I put at the top, and paste that into the address bar of your browser.
There is probably a much easier way to do this, but IDK.
