Not if you prefer to load your own content, rather than download it directly from Amazon. Commercial eBooks can be a real mess, with missing covers, messed-up metadata, etc. What I prefer to do is to buy the book, transfer it to Calibre, tidy it up (make sure it has a proper cover, edit the metadata, etc) and then transfer it from Calibre to my Kindle. ie, I regard my Calibre library as my "master source" of eBooks, not the archive on Amazon.
