Sounds like my work flow is going to continue to be to download for transfer via USB for everything. So not really a change from what I was doing before.
You can use an old version of Kindle for PC, and get those books into Calibre. That's what I do, and have no issues transferring books to my Oasis. Don't let the app update automatically and you'll be good to go. I use 1.17.0 which can still be found on the interwebs.

Complete details can't be trotted out here on MobileRead...

I do typically download my books normally from Amazon, but use Calibre to make changes if desired. I also like having my books all accessible even if I don't have a connection to the web. I also sometimes buy books from other sources and like the ability to keep all my books in one place, not to mention format shifting and other edits.
