When you purchase a Kindle, you register it to your "Kindle Account" at Amazon. Ebooks you purchase from Amazon will then be added you your Kindle Account. The easiest way you load them into the Kindle device will be to connect the Kindle to your internet via WiFi and down load the books directly.
You can also download from Amazon or other sources via a computer (macOS, Windows, or Linux) and then "side load" them into the Kindle. "Side loading" involves connecting the Kindle to the computer via USB and copying them from the computer to the Kindle. Ebooks can be downloaded from other sources, but they need in either one of the modern Amazon formats (AZW, AZW3, ...) or in the old Mobipocket (MOBI) format.
Calibre is a free ebook library manager and converter which can be very handly. It can manage the "side loading" for you, seeing that things are placed in the correct folders, etc. It can convert between most ebook and document formats, provided the files are not restricted with Digital Rights Management (DRM).
