Plus, with no broadband at my mother's, I don't take my kindle or my laptop, which is where my calibre library is stored so I can't physically transfer by USB. This was the only workaround/compromise I could think of.

Why not take your Kindle or your laptop? Is there some reason you can't preload the books to your Kindle that you want to read during your stay instead of uploading them to DropBox to be downloaded to another Kindle for reading?
Personally, I've often used my ereaders and laptop without network connectivity so while limiting, I don't see it as a reason to not use your devices.
