You can also password protect the directory with the standard basic authentication (.htpasswd) method; the Kindle browser (at least on my K1) allows login that way. I have some of my books on a protected part of my personal website, and am able to download them to my Kindle just fine by entering the user and password I specifed for the directory.
I wouldn't personally place ebooks on a public website (hidden directory or not) without password protection, as Googlebot or other search robots will find them. A robots.txt file would help to keep well-behaved search crawlers away, but I wouldn't trust that alone to keep my books private.
