I think that would be a worthy service.
Personally, I would advise against doing this multiple books at a time as that would push recent uploads off the front page.

That may or may not work properly. If there is an ePub, that should be the source for the KF8. If it is only mobi, then it would need to be converted and checked for any formatting that should be fixed due to limitations in the mobi format. And things like paragraph spaces would need to go.
So this may not be as simple as convert and post. There may be more work needed to make it a proper mobileread version. We don't do sloppy and a convert and go of a mobi > KF8 may be sloppy if not checked and maybe edited.
And finally there's the issue of getting this conversion added to the first post of the thread especially if the owner is no longer with us (both ways).
