I am looking for simple, automated methods and for now I would like to exclude de_DRM by assuming I am buying from a vendor that does not use it..

How about not using Calibre at all with a batch script that emails the ebook file to Amazon. I did a search and found that Windows Powershell has the Send-MailMessage commandlet. Powershell is installed on every Windows system starting with Windows 7.

So sending would involve opening a Powershell command window, navigating to the directory with the ebook file, then typing a command like
email2amazon ebookfile

More advanced would be to enable the Powershell script so you could drag and drop the ebook file onto the script.
