One note: in general (always?) you can only buy an ebook from Amazon if you have an Amazon eReader. Their DRM locks the ebook to a specific eReader. This isn't a real problem provided you have a Windows, MacOSX, iOS, or Android device as you can download and install a software eReader from Amazon.
Once you have installed the eReader software and registered it to you Amazon account you can then download the eBook. My preference is to download choosing the "download to computer" option which is there so that you can manually transfer the eBook to the target device. After downloading an eBook this way I can then import into calibre with the help of Apprentice Alf. Once in calibre, it can be converted to the desired format, ePub being my current preference.
