Emailing ebooks to the Kindle is surprisingly simple with Calibre. I had expected a lot more setup being required but nope, all I needed was to put in my kindle.com (to) and gmail.com (from) email addresses. No futzing around with POP3, password settings, etc. necessary.
I tried it last night (just for testing purposes). I emailed 12 ebooks (via Calibre) to my Kindle email. Worked beautifully. Calibre might have needed to send those emails one by one, but *I* didn't.
As for downloading, it's very easy to deliver/push entire batches of cloud content to multiple devices registered to your Amazon account. On my tablet, I just went to Manage content and devices - checked all the new ebooks (filed as Docs) - Deliver (you're allowed to select multiple devices at the same time). Sent it to 2 PW3 and 3 iOS devices in just one go. Surprisingly, both covers and Whispersync work.
Note, this was the first time I've ever used the email to Kindle feature and I'm pleasantly surprised with how easy it all is.

My primary/base format is epub and if I switch devices, easy enough to convert from epub to something else using Calibre. Disk space is cheap. As has been mentioned, this isn't even a big issue with dual-format mobi. That said, there's really nothing in KF8 that I consider a must-have. I actually disable hyphenation on my epub readers.
