You can also run Syncthing on a jailbroken Kindle. That opens up a world of possibilities!

Whoa, now that sounds like the use case I've been looking for since I jailbroke mine.

I have calibre set up to just email books to my Kindle, but that's an extra layer of indirection that I really don't need. I'll have to check that out.

If you have calibre, just turn on the wireless connection and have your Koreader connect to it.

Personally I'm most fond of Calibre + Calibre-Web, which masquerades as the Kobo Store and lets you use the built-in Kobo syncing mechanisms with your Calibre library instead of having to do it all within Koreader.

I too have heard about syncthing for the first time today but from a different submission[0] you might care to be aware of.

Although, I realize Android != Kindle's OS, so I'm not sure how much concern there should be.
