I just htaccess password protected a folder and stuck folders inside for each author which contain their books.
Using the Kindle's web browser I go to the URL, enter username & password and am presented with an HTML page which is a list of each author with his/her books listed below their name (see attached). It's not the prettiest thing it the world, but it works with both the K1 & K2.
Using the web browser to click any title/filename will bring up a download box. It'll then download to the Kindle and show up on the Home screen when done. I generated the HTML list with DirectoryLister and edited the HTML a bit to get it working. I'm going to redo the HTML so it's just author names and brings you to their folder though, otherwise it's to much scrolling.
I actually did it without the HTML list at first and just browsed to the folder I wanted. That worked ok, but had larger text and made it harder to read in the Kindles browser.
