Given the tendency of Amazon to obfuscate its content, probably you'll pick a binary file that you won't be able to read.
CC uses the term Download (IMHO correctly) to PULL from Calibre.
Upload would be a Push from CC to someplace else (which it can't currently do).
OTOH Using Wireless Device Connection: You do Upload FROM Calibre (a push), just like you would do over USB or e-mail
