2) I find the new d/l in my Amazon ebook folder (typically by the time of day since the titles do not yet exist in human readable form)

3) import into Calibre via the Add Books button.

4) email to my PW2014 from Calibre via rt click the book in Calibre and choose connect/share/email to [my kindle.com email address].
Err, possibly stupid question, but... why are you emailing a purchased book back to Amazon? It is already in your cloud...

But perhaps you are changing (fixing) the metadata first.
