For me, I use the ACSM plugin for calibre to import DRMmed books directly into calibre. Non-DRMmed books will simply download the book file.
As for converting to AZW3 and then back to ePub? A useless step, IMNSHO. Run either the calibre editor with the epubcheck plugin or Sigil with the epubcheck plugin. calibre's bug check is not the same as epubcheck and misses many errors that epubcheck will catch. I've not had any issues sending a book to a Kindle using any of the Send to Kindle methods after the ePub passed epubcheck and I have checked that none of the ePub options were not supported by Amazon using Kindle Previewer.
