You don't need to have a Kobo to buy from Kobo. You can carry on using your Kindle, although getting the book onto Kindle is a little bit more complicated.
Books bought at Kobo can be downloaded and loaded into calibre easily. They arrive as .acsm files, which are really just a token to allow Adobe Digital Editions to download the book.
But there's now a neat plugin for calibre that does the downloading for you, so you can just drag the .acsm file onto calibre, and the plugin will download the book and add it to your calibre library.
The ACSM Input plugin can be found here:
ACSM Input
The only official release is 0.0.16, but I strongly recommend using the 1.0 release which can be found for download in
this post in that thread. The calibre-plugin.zip file.
If you also have DeDRM installed, after the ACSM Input plugin has downloaded the book, DeDRM will remove the DRM before it's added to your calibre library.
To get the book onto your Kindle, just use Amazon's Send To Kindle service. There's a web site, and app, or you can send to your Kindle's email address. You send the ePub - Amazon does any necessary conversions. You can choose to also add the book to your Amazon account, so it'll appear in your documents section and can be re-downloaded from Amazon to your Kindle(s) at any time.
