With both you have to download, move to Calibre and then put the eBook on the device with maybe a conversion. So basically, it's no more difficult with ePub or Kindle.

If you have a Kindle on your account the process is:
1. Download file from Amazon to Computer.
2. Load into Calibre.
3. Load drm-free copy to device.
With ADE:
1. Download acsm file to Computer.
2. Load acsm file into Digital Editions, which then downloads the ebook file.
3. Load into Calibre.
4. Load drm-free copy to device.
It was pointed out to me on another thread that the direct download to your computer option from Amazon is not available unless you have a Kindle on your account. In this case, the first step becomes to open your Kindle for PC application, which will sync and download your EBook file to your Kindle for PC application. Otherwise the steps are the same. You don't need to download both an .acsm file and an epub file. Granted, not a significant difference but a difference nevertheless.
