I tried this on my K1, and most of the web pages come up black on black. I was still able to select one of my sugarsync PRC files for download and, like you, I got the Amazon error message that the Kindle does not support the download of this format. If I do the same operation, using the mobile interface, under FireFox the download link is of the form
Code:
https://m.sugarsync.com/get/file/XXXXXX_XXX/Dickens_TaleTwoCitiesMR3.prc?v=true&owner=YYYYYYYY
and the download works The problem on the Kindle may be with the "?v=..." after the .prc. The Kindle isn't recognizing this as a .prc download. So I would say that this is a problem with sugarsync, not with the Kindle.
The counter example is that it is possible to download PRCs from MobileRead, for example
Altsheler, Joseph A: The Guns of Bull Run. V1. 9 July 2009 downloads successfully as:
Code:

Perhaps the problem is with https (vs htpp), or perhaps mobileread is internally presenting a URL that the Kindle recognizes as a PRC file.
