I am looking for software tools and methods to ease buying and reading ebooks from non-Amazon companies. I would like to continue reading them on my Kindle Paperwhite although I am open to buying another ebook reader with similar performance.

I do not want to get into de-DRMing for now so I am thinking of buying books from companies like Baen who do not use DRM.

The way I would have to do it now is to buy the ebook, download it to my desktop computer, connect my Paperwhite to the USB port, and then use Calibre to transfer the ebook. As an alternative, I could email the ebook to my Amazon account from my desktop, then download it from there to the Paperwhite using the Amazon network.

Compare that to tapping the 'store' icon on my Paperwhite, searching for the book, tapping on the buy icon and automatically download it to the Paperwhite.

I would appreciate ideas and comments to make the non-Amazon purchases and reading easier.
