Daffy was discussing a "download guide", i.e. a MOBI ebook with links to PRC files available over the web. I agree that the password required by sugarsync means that this option won't work.
I was talking about using the mobile web version of mobileread and simply navigating to an ebooks web page using the Kindle browser and downloading it from there. This works for PRC files (files with the extension .prc) from mobileread but not for PRC from sugarsync. Note that I had to logon to sugarsync, but there was no addition login required to download the PRC file. So something that sugarsync is doing is preventing the Kindle web browser from recognizing such files as PRC files. It might be the case that sugarsync is requiring https (i.e. encryption) for the download and that is what causing the problem. I am not sure, because there is some hidden transaction between the web server and the web browser that ends up with a download of the PRC file. That transaction is failing for the Kindle web browser (it isn't recognizing what sugarsync is delivering as a PRC file).
