I know that you can email a Kindle ebook to the device itself using Kindle Personal Documents Service. I've been told that you cannot download a file directly using the Kindle Fire web browser.
If I opened up a .mobi file as an email document attachment on a Kindle device, would I be presented with the option to open it in Kindle? Or is the only way to do this through Kindle Personal Documents Service or Calibre?
(I'm writing a how-to about how to sideload on various devices and don't have access to a Kindle Fire at the moment).

You can definitely download a .mobi file from the web browser on a Kindle Fire ---> retrieve it from the downloads section of your web browser---> and load it into your books library without the aid of a USB cable (sideload) I did it this morning.
Just make sure once you download it in the web browser go to the top left menu options and then a drop down bar will appear and click on 'downloads'.

Update:
Ipad/iBooks let you open .epub files from email attachments. So does Nook/Android. (You can also download them from a URL).
As far as I can tell though from the Amazon.com website, there is no way to open/add a .mobi file from email or a browser.
