You can set up and use a Kindle 3 without a computer. Regitsering an account, setting everything up, even email, can all be done from the Kindle 3 itself.

(The only thing I can think of that could be a problem would be upgrading the firmware if you can't get to a hotspot, but I expect if you called and told them, they'd make an exception and push it over 3g.)
