Yes.
Calibre is pretty easy to use, you can use it to email to your kindle or you can set up a server so your kindle can browse your calibre library (or you can just transfer via USB). I favour emailing it so that progress gets synced across multiple devices.
There are a few alternatives for academic titles but nothing really (in the UK) for standard titles. Barnes and Noble are the only one that seem to do it at the moment, Waterstones ended their offering a fair few years ago.

Does Hive.co.uk work for you? You can purchase ebooks, and they make a donation (not sure how much) to a shop of your choosing

Also, are torrents of good quality (Kindle level) eBooks a thing?
Yes, well, they used to be.
In days of old I used Le Bay of Pies to get .mobi versions of some books I already had physical versions of.It has been a long time since I sailed on that ship though, so maybe it isn't a thing anymore?

Lib Gen is a an excellent repository of ebooks in many formats. Obviously you should only download books that you have already purchased, as an extra copy for safekeeping.

And having to use Calibre every time to load a book sounds like an ass ache.
I want the experience to be seamless like Amazon, except with a physical browsing element and no Amazon.
