(the documents are typically confidential - don't want to put them on a publishing site where people might stumble across them).
Just like several of the previous posters remarked, you can send an email to their kindle. There is a few cents cost associated with sending a file to kindle. If you send a word document, it will be automagically reformatted for Kindle.
The question is, how much confidential the documents are. If they just talk about the monthly balance on the company bank account - something that competitor should not see, then this is a viable way. If they are confidential documents of the "For Your Eyes Only" "military contractor grade detailed recipe for the insulating foam for the Trident Missile" type then you should be aware that your email will go through many servers over which you have no control. Also Amazon can have a look into your Kindle when you switch on the Whispernet. Amazon can even delete document from your Kindle. They did delete some books by Ayn Rand from Kindles.

Ask your CEO if he would be comfortable sending a paper copy of materials in a plain envelope by a mail. If yes, there is no problem pushing the materials into Kindles using an email address associated with an account where the Kindle is registered. This is how I determine if the material in question can be sent in a plain un-encrypted e-mail
