I don't know if things have changed, but I used to just be able to copy and paste files to the Kindle from File Explorer. Windows would mount it like a phone and you'd get access to the internal storage. I don't think they would have removed that ability.

Edit: I don't have my Kindle on me to check at the moment, but the most recent source I could find still says it's possible.
