Yeah it's wild how the use case for 90% of users is "convert epub/mobi/whatever to azw3 and upload to kindle" and doing that is buried in several right click context menus... I'm comfortable doing it now but it seems as easy as having a left pane for books in my "library" and right pane for books on my device

If you just want to convert books and then copy them to your device I suggest you have a look at the command line tools installed alongside calibre.

`ebook-convert` does exactly that.

Yup!

ebook-convert mybook.epub mybook.mobi

Haven't used it in a little bit, but from memory most of my flow for this was drag and drop. Drag the source onto Calibre, then drag that to the Kindle logo up top.
