I know that, and I feel rather positive that no one was looking for an option that required paying money.

It is on my TODO list to enable write support for the content server, until that time I am not going to implement this feature.

I appreciate the explanation. Like I said, I was not able to understand what your objection was from your previous comment.

Considering the work-around you previously mentioned (converting all my books to MOBI in a batch job), is there a way to determine which version was the original, and which version is the conversion, after the conversion has taken place?

Given that I now understand your objection, how about this for a new request:

Can you add an "email to kindle" button to the content server that would only show if there is a MOBI version already available, and therefore would require no conversion and/or r/w access?
