No, you know more about this than I do. That might work. As a matter of fact, I think I'll test it out with the Fire tablet and one of my eReaders.
EDIT: Tested this from my Fire to various Kindles (Keyboard, Touch, Basic 8th Gen) and even a Sony PRS-650. Worked. My Blackberry Q10 doesn't support OTA, but I'm guessing that any phone that does should be able to do this. I would make sure the device your transferring files to is fully charged, so it doesn't pull down on your phone's (or tablet's) battery. I had Sony T2 that "almost worked" but the battery was nearly dead, so I think it was pulling too much juice from the tablet. On the Fire I've got (I think it's named) ES File Explorer as my file manager (though, I'm guessing any Android file manager would work). ES File Explorer allows you to show hidden files. Meant to mention: Several times I put the OTA cable on the Reader side instead of the phone/tablet side (since it was microUSB to microUSB at the ends). That doesn't work. The OTA cable has to be on the phone/tablet side.
