Hi Aggers,
I won't be able to help you with the kindle. Well not in the way you expect. I have a kindle too but I don't use it the way others do. I use calibre to manage the books but I treat the Kindle like a camera memory card or a usb stick when it comes to books. It's one of those little pieces of information things. Learning to manage a file system with a file system explorer (windows explorer), or even a dos box (hardcore maochists), is a skill which is viable in the entire computer space, from music players, TV boxes, Kindles, right up to massive computers.
I have thousands of books, some classical, but the content is not always good quality. Needless to say they were file share downloaded. Mainly for reason of not wishing to scan our extensive library of physical books (heading up towards 2,00 books of which 1,000 are hardbacks).
I have no idea how to get classicle books for the kindle otherwise, it was bought to replace my existing reader which did not integrate into anyone's store so it was always the hard way for me.
I find it easier to treat technology in familes. For instance my PC's and Laptops are windows family. My phone, kindle and media streamers are Linux (unix) family of which Android is just one offshoot of the family. Under the pretty interface they are, basically, all the same....
There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those who understand Binary and those who do not.
