It’s been ages since I messed with the setting, but IIRC somewhere in your Amazon profile you can set the kindle download default to a specific kindle app or kindle device. Then if your kindle wifi is on, the books should automatically download.

Even with my default set to my kindle paper white, it’s kind of hit or miss and sometimes I have to force a sync or redownload, or wait several minutes. My previous kindles (3-4 over the past 15 years) were all much better at immediately doing the download. I’m not sure if my current one is flaky or if Amazon made the syncs/downloads more lazy, e.g. longer polling time for the auto sync to increase battery life.
