isn't "AMCAS Letter Writer Application" method the easiest of all ?

There are several mediums in which a letter writer can send letter to AMCAS. See below for a description of each.

AMCAS Letter Writer Application: This application enables letter writers to upload PDF versions of letter(s) securely to AMCAS rather than send letters via the mail. Your letter writer will be required to register as a letter writer and will need your AAMC ID and AMCAS Letter ID in order to upload your letter(s).

Interfolio: AMCAS can receive letters sent to Interfolio if you are an Interfolio user or your institution/organization uses Interfolio to deliver letters of evaluation/recommendation. Make certain to add your AAMC ID and AMCAS Letter ID in your Interfolio account, as these IDs must accompany your letter in order for your letter to be matched with your application.

Mail: Make sure your letter writer has a copy of the AMCAS Letter Request form, which includes your AAMC ID and AMCAS Letter ID. Your letter writer should include this form when sending your letter in order to guarantee that your letter is correctly matched to your application.

VirtualEvals (VE): VE is a letter service available to members of the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP). If your advisor is a VE user, and you have arranged to have your letters transmitted through your advising office or career center, provide your AAMC ID and AMCAS Letter ID to your advisor, as these IDs must accompany your letter in order for your letter to be matched with your application.

I don't think it's the easiest but it's definitely the fastest.

If you're only applying to AMCAS schools then it probably is, though my premed advisor said that some MD schools wont use the AMCAS letter service (even though they're on AMCAS).
