The humble bundle site manages this by letting users add the humble
bundle kindle address to  their authorised kindle email addresses, and
providing an email address for the kindle device to humblebundle. This
then automates the emailing/library storing of any books the user
wants to download to their kindle.
I found their system neat and fast.
