I am going crazy trying to find out how to use a dropbox to send books to my Kindle Paperwhite. Looks like maybe not possible... Thanks

    If your device meets our minimum requirements, you could install the Dropbox mobile app on your Kindle device

    The mobile apps only are only supported on Kindle Fire devices. The Paperwhite is an e-reader (i.e. not a tablet) and cannot run apps. It can run Active Content which can be thought of as an app, but is very different, and not something that Dropbox supports.

Dropbox does not have an app for the Kindle e-readers. Only the Kindle Fire tablets are supported. You'll need to look for a third-party solution, such as IFTT or similar, to accomplish this.
