From the responses, it seems that I would need to take extra steps. As I would like a copy for my computer since I may get a different e-reader in the future, should I instead buy it from amazon directly to the kindle and then get a copy through calibre?
Thanks

You cannot put an epub on your Kindle without extra steps, no matter where you buy it.
If you want to download directly to your Kindle without any extra steps, then Amazon is basically your only option. You can also buy a DRM-free book in .mobi format from places like Baen, Smashwords or Angry Robot, download it to your computer and transfer to your Kindle via USB.
Not books from major publishers, though, as those usually have DRM. If you don't want extra steps (like DRM removal and conversion), you'll have to buy those from Amazon.
