Although I am a bit confused by some of the replies, it sounds like the iPad won't play a role at all in facilitating transfer of the files from an HD to the Kindle and the process will have to rely on the Kindle Browser to transfer then?
I will have to research what a Calibre server is and how it functions and how it is different than having the Library on Dropbox. Odd that there is no easy and elegant way to put books on a Kindle from a Calibre Library without using a computer with Calibre installed. However since I've always done it that way myself, I could be missing a way to do that I'm not familiar with.

The main operation required here is Calibre.
Those Dropbox (or supported clouds) 'Libraries' have to be created by Calibre.
The 'server' is part of the main Calibre install (run from either the GUI, or running standalone)
The Kindle browser is found under 'Experimental" (on my K4 NT) on the Settings menu. I think it is labeled that, because it is NOT a full blown Browser (and they don't intend to make it so. I also suspect that what is there, was to support their e-book store front, with this as a bonus.)
