You don't have to have a browser on the device to get books. You can always download to your pc first, then copy over. Some devices actually require that you do that anyway, to get the books "authorized" by the Adobe DRM software.
For the Kindle, for other ebook sites, like Baen books, Gutenberg, etc., you can download to your pc, and transfer books to the Kindle by hooking it up via USB, if you don't want to use wi-fi. Baen has links on their site so you can email the books to your Kindle (you first have to authorize their email address, so that the Kindle will accept emails from them).
If you have wi-fi (or the 3G version), downloads come directly to the Kindle from Amazon. Very handy.
If your library's selection is poor, there isn't much you can do about that. A couple of libraries give out-of-towners (out-of-state) the ability to buy a library card. Library lending is coming for the Kindle soon.
