I've been following the improvements to Calibre, a library-management tool that works on the Mac as well as Windows (and Linux, I think).
It can now detect your Kindle send books to it via the USB connection, as well as edit metadata and do conversions from other formats. It's also a library-management program that can keep track of all your ebooks on your computer. It appears that you can keep your ebooks on your computer and then send them to the Kindle when you want to read them, then you can delete them (manually) from the Kindle when you are through.
This morning I took an HTML file, opened it with Calibre, converted it to MOBI, added title and author metadata (as well as ISBN) and sent it to my Kindle. On a cursory examination, everything looks pretty good.
It might be worth a look. I need to play around with it a bit more to see if it will make the things I need to do any easier on my Mac.
