Amazon support told me that they have plans to update the app so hopefully they’ll include side loading at some point. Until then this the process I’ve been using, similar to others and still a bit messy, but it’s the best I’ve seen.
I find this much easier to do using a PC and the TP in USB mode, but it can be done with either Gemini or Internalz as well.

1. Start by using the Kindle app to download a sample of the book you want to add
2. Locate that book in the /media/internal/.palmkindle. The book will have a file name ending in EBSP.asw.
3. Copy the entire file name of the book, and then rename the .mobi file which you want to add.
4. Drag the newly renamed .Mobi file to the /media/internal/.palmkindle folder and touch yes to override the existing file.

This method has the advantage keeping the book title on each page correct and cover images in the correct size. Only downside I’ve found is the Amazon sample may not have the same cover as the actual .mobi file, but to me it’s a minor detail.

This is all that’s needed to get books side loaded and available to read.

To get rid of the sample banner on the books, you need to follow this one time hack to a couple of JS files within the app. I’m not much of a coder so there is most likely a better way, but this will do the trick

For this you’ll need Internalz to locate the folder, for some reason I was unable to find it using Gemini.

1. Go to /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.kindle/images
2. Delete
3. item-sample-banner.png
4. item-sample-banner-small..png
5. Save File
6. Go to /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.kindle/app/contentContainer
7. Open ListView.js
8. About 2/3 of the way down locate this line
9. This.$.archivedBannerContainer.setContent (“Sample”);
10. Remove the word Sample within the quotation marks,leaving the quotations
11. Save File
12. Open GridView.js
13. About ½ way down, locate this line
14. This.$.archivedBannerContainer.setContent (“Sample”);
15. Remove the word Sample within the quotation marks,leaving the quotations
16. Save File
17. Restart your Touchpad and all your books should look like they should

The Kindle app will still treat the books as samples so you can’t archive only delete and in list view you’ll be given the option to download the full version, but to me these are minor issues.
If anyone has a way to trick the app into thinking these are regular files, I would love to hear your solution.

1. download a few free books from amazon into the kindle app. Ensure you can open them in the kindle app
2. Using Calibre, convert your desired book to .mobi
3. Connect the touchpad to your PC via USB mode
4. Copy the converted book to /media/internal/.palmkindle
5. Rename the converted book to the name of one of your free downloaded books (e.g. myconvertedbook.mobi -> B002D48NUA_EBSP.asw)

The new book name will still be the same as the downloaded free book. You could even copy the cover art (.jpg) to /coverCache, naming the jpg to B002D48NUA-small.jpg to see the cover. You will be able to read the book ok... just remember which free download is your desired book.

As I said, it's ugly, but it works as a test.
I'd really like a proper way to do it and load my books with the proper name.
