Yes. Mostly because I use a metadata plugboard and page count, both of which can be transferred only with a direct connection. And also because I want to use the azw3 format, it being the only one which supports custom font sizes on a Kindle (the FONT_RAMP hack). AZW3 cannot be downloaded directly from Amazon to newer Kindles (Amazon uses KFX nowadays for direct downloads), and it cannot be sent via wifi without jumping through some hoops. There have been a few instances I've used an over-the-air method to load a book to my Kindles (email or the send-to-kindle app), but it's not my preferred way.
