Your point is well taken and quite accurate in that Calibre will not convert DRM books. However, with the correct plug-ins installed, I import (add) to Calibre whatever book I have happened to purchase, (be it B&N, Borders, etc.) and then I email it (which also automagically converts it) to my K3 or my daughter's K3. I just have to tell Calibre where the d/l file is found. Calibre adds the new book to the library and then I just click on it and email it. The big caveat here is having the correct plug-ins installed which take care of the DRM issue.
Other than d/l'ing direct to an EBR, I don't know how much simpler it gets. The dedrm process is completely transparent. I couldn't tell you if I'm dealing with a DRM book or not... unless I know the source. And I'm an absolute novice at this having just got my first EBR less than 2 weeks ago.
Yes there is a learning curve. How steep it is depends on the user.
Like anything else in life, it only looks intimidating until you've done it once or twice.
