Len proved that this worked in Dropbox, so I took the idea a step further and used the same trick in iCloud and Google Drive. That’s a great trick, and it gets better.
Dropbox makes you jump through a few hoops, but once you’re done you will have the ebook in your Kindle app. What Len discovered was that you can upload a large Mobi file to Dropbox and then use the Dropbox iOS app to download it and open it in the Kindle app for iOS. Luckily there is a workaround. Len Epps of Leanpub figured out the trick earlier this week, and it turns out it’s pretty simple.
While it is easy to load ebooks of any size into the Kindle apps for Windows 7, OSX, or Android, Kindle for iOS is crippled by a file system originally developed for a feature phone (the original iPhone). Loading files into iOS apps is difficult to impossible, and you can’t use Amazon’s "send to Kindle" email feature (it has a size limit of 50MB). The Kindle app for iOS presents a special problem for Kindle users want to load and read DRM-free ebooks larger than 50MB in size
