You can use the browser (settings / Beta Features) on the Forma to download books from Dropbox I haven't tested this on my KA1 but don't see why it wouldn't work on it as well. It isn't a very smooth experience to say the least but it does work.

Simply go to your dropbox folder with the browser and download the files you want, you will get a message that dropbox doesn't support your browser but it still lets me download files, it seems to work best if you have the files in your root folder of dropbox, the browser doesn't seem to see anything in my sub folders.

I tested with both a pdf and epub file, both downloaded fine and I was able to open and read both files on the Forma.
