Buying ePub straight off would be the most convenient way to get eBooks for your devices.
I sometimes buy from amazon simply because they are cheaper and its not inconvenient at all, the process is very simple - buy book from amazon, import it into Calibre as soon as I do that it auto strips the drm, right click convert to epup and send to device, I havent had to fix anything in the epubs so far they have all turned out perfect.
