Have you tried using the Kindle app? With that you can set up an email
address and send ebooks to that address which will then be
automatically added to your list of books on the Kindle. Those can be
books you've bought (or others bought) on Amazon or DRM free ebooks
from anywhere. I tested it some time back and it works well enough.
