On stock (and jailbroken) Kindles you can send PDFs or MOBIs to username@kindle.com and have them auto-downloaded to your Kindle. Many people use Calibre[1] (FOSS, win/mac/linux) to sync/manage their ebook collection using this feature. You could easily couple it with Dropbox. You can also use Calibre to have newspapers/magazines sent to your Kindle every morning. There's tons of recipes for scraping BBC, NYTimes, WaPo or $local_paper, rendering with custom CSS to get readable ad-free version, converting to MOBI and sending to Kindle. There has even been SaaS offerings running hosted Calibre cronjobs with user-provided recipes. Not sure if any still exist. [1] https://calibre-ebook.com |

That's no good for me because I tend to do a lot of random edits of my epub collection to fix editing errors, replace cover images with better ones, etc. The reason I want Dropbox is to automatically propagate changes like that, not just to transfer files over.
