Yes, and all of them (except for the PDOC converter) are just so easy and convenient to use for someone who wants to buy their very first ereader and might not even know what calibre is, let alone "ebok", "pdoc", "azw3", "kfx" and so on.
- converting to AZW3 sets the EBOK tag automatically
- converting to KFX requires installing not only calibre, but also the KFX Output plugin and the Kindle Previewer software from Amazon, and that may be far more trouble than the OP is prepared to go to to just read their books
- converting to mobi dumbs down the formatting and disables some features of the Kindle (custom fonts, the boldness slider)
- editing py files? Seriously? You recommend that to an ereader novice? In that case, to be helpful and accurate, please explain what py files and how, exactly
- the OP might not want to install or convert anything at all; they might just want to download mobi, azw3 or dual mobi files and copy them to their Kindle. As those files are usually converted with Calibre, using the default options (yes, even Baen does this, for example), they usually have the EBOK tag
Considering all of the above, I really wouldn't say that a Kindle is a good option for sideloading these days, unless you want to use Send to Kindle.

If you don't know what it means, I suggest googling it.
