I use my Kindle (WiFi) a lot to read my work documents that I transfer to Kindle by sending them to <user>@free.kindle.com. Yesterday one small document in mobi format (converted with Calibre) bounced with a message that it cannot be delivered because there is something wrong with it. It was strange because no limits were exceeded and the file was in mobi format. I decided to investigate it later and copied the file via USB instead. Today I tried to replicate the problem and now it works fine, so maybe it was only a temporary glitch.
However, reading how Amazon has actively censored some books I have become suspicious. The failed document was an extract from a medical research that among other things included questions about patient's relatives and sex life in the same paragraph. What if Amazon is experimenting with filtering objectionable texts also in the e-mail conversation tool?
Using USB cable is a hassle, so I am curious if there could be an easy way to transfer mobi documents wirelessly to Kindle directly excluding Amazon servers? My device is already jail-breaked.
And as WiFi has to be enabled in this situation, how could I make sure that the device is not reporting back to Amazon about my activities. I am a kind of a person who hates when someone is looking over my shoulder to see what I am reading.
