I think that I have now found a way around all this. When buying the ebook from Amazon, specify download to Kindle for Mac. Once purchase completed, go back to Kindle Bookshop and specify download for transfer via USB (or whatever it says). Copy the downloaded file into the Kindle's documents-folder. All is now well, save that Calibre does not detect the book that I have just bought in the main memory of the device.
My thanks to you all for your patience and help.
