Method 3: eink Kindle
If you have an eink Kindle and are able to download ebooks directly to your Kindle via WiFi, it is possible to then connect the Kindle to a computer via USB cable and import the ebook file (.kfx, .azw3, .azw, .mobi) from Kindle into calibre.
If your Kindle was released in 2013 or later running firmware v5.6.5 or newer, you will get mostly KFX (older books may result in older formats, like .mobi). Make sure you have the KFX Input plugin installed.
If you have a pre-2013 eink Kindle running firmware older than v5.6.5, you will get mostly KF8 (older books may result in older formats, like .mobi). More info on older Kindle models and their usefulness in obtaining KF8 from jhowell: here

Allow me to elaborate a little on this method.
With the Kindle connected to the computer. In Calibre select
Device-->
Show the books in the main memory of the device.
Then select the books that you want to add. Right Click and select
Add books to library.
