Yes, you can move your own files onto the iPhone Kindle Reader
Author: rshah214 Mar
If you have a jailbroken iPhone, you can move files onto the iPhone for use in the Kindle reader. The reader stores data in /User/Applications/[App ID]/Documents/eBooks. You’ll need to figure out the correct App ID for the Kindle app on your phone (you can probably figure it out by looking at the date associated with the directory).
I have tested this with an unsecured .prc file (similar to what I have loaded onto my Kindle via USB) and the reader opens the document just fine. You may need to relaunch the application to get it to update the available books on the Home screen. Whispernet syncing will obviously not work.

Wait there’s a Kindle reader for the iphone? Doesn’t it give you a headache from the backlighting?
Anyways, yay jailbreaking!!!
Hey and WHY does my avatar look like… well.. NOT ME!
I think most people online have the wrong idea for why amazon released this for the iphone. Because it has whispersync, it will keep books on your kindle and your iphone in sync – so if you’re reading the book on the kindle and then pick it up on the iphone, you will be at the spot you off reading on the kindle (and vice versa, and, as noted, only for books bought through amazon). So, this app makes sense if you’re waiting for short periods of time (like for the train, or in line), not for reading entire books via the phone.
People saying that the iphone is a cheaper replacement device for the kindle ($299 vs. $359) are missing the point – amazon is going after people who own both devices (like J and I).
I dunno. Who’s this: http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/f3e232ee129f31366b9e744d1e7ca942 ? Is the email you used associated with that gravatar?
