Any suggestions?

Maybe you should consider getting a used registerable kindle. (Be wary of any that might be banned by amazon because of being reported lost, stolen, replaced, or other reason.) Then register it on amazon and make a record of its serial number. After that, you never have to do anything with it again.

You can then buy books from amazon and download them to your linux computer and use Apprentice Alf's calibre plugin to take care of your DRM problem, then use mobileread's kindleunpack python utility or calibre conversion to convert to EPUB. The kindleunpack output is pretty much as close as possible to the publisher EPUB as is possible.

It is best if the kindle is capable of azw3, not just mobi. Any kindle with a touchscreen should be OK, except maybe the original kindle touch.
