5GB free storage, only for music for now. But they must be thinking other media in the future.
The help pages suggest that you can add and access any sort of document already:

Amazon Cloud Drive is your hard-drive in the cloud. Securely store your music, videos, photos, and documents online and access them from anywhere.

All you need is a web browser to upload, download and access your files from any computer. Back up your files to ensure that your music, photos and personal documents are available to you wherever you go.
But the Cloud Player apps only work with MP3 and AAC. As you say, the strategy must surely be to extend this to video and perhaps to merge the Kindle storage options with it for book reading.
