What I do is buy the book on Amazon, then go to their web page and click on "Hello Hobnail, Account & Lists" (top right) then click on Content & Devices, and then for each book click More Actions and select Download and transfer via USB. Depending on what the author uploaded it downloads either an AZW3 or a MOBI (container). Which I then drag into calibre and the plugin removes the DRM.
I suspect that if you select an ancient Kindle as the target, like the OP's Kindle 2, you'll always get MOBI. The OP wants to avoid that.
