Thanks guys for all your input - it would seem that SugarSync won't be an option b/c of the character string attached to the end of the file (starting with the ?) - an app/hack filter would have to remove the string or mask it before giving the file to the kindle browser for download, leaving the .mobi or .prc file extension.

So the next best thing seems to be Daffy's suggestion of creating a download guide for a personal library.

If Amazon persists in NOT providing folders, modifying an online storage service to sync with Kindles might become financially attractive enough for a company to offer a Kindle archive/library feature.

Would contacting SugarSync about this (since they already have the mobile app for cell phones) to see if they're interested violate any Amazon rules, do ya think?
