book/newspaper downloading protocol?

Ok, (new kindle) so my home isn't within the Sprint territory and I register and purchase several books, a magazine and a newspaper subscription online via the Amazon site. Later in the day I take my Kindle and drive to the city YMCA which is in a Sprint hotspot. Whispernet connects and my purchases appear but only in my Content Manager, not my home screen Furthermore, there's a little black rectangle beneath each of the titles that says "Amazon". I drive back home and from reading the User Guide I gather that I must select each item and then "move or download" that content to my Kindle from "My Media Library" stored at Amazon... but I'll have to wait until I'm back in the city to connect, no problem.

Question: Are all media purchases via the kindle/whispernet transferred directly to my home screen.. or will the above (2-step scenario) be the norm regardless of the purchase method? Just want to know what to expect.
