I started to write a sarcastic reply about Staples salespeople, but decided I'd settle for the simple answer -- he doesn't have a clue.

The Kindle 3G in Staples is the same Kindle 3G that Amazon will ship you. The browser is the same, and yes, it can be used for sites other than the Amazon store. I use it to check my email, and I've used it to buy books from other sources than Amazon. (In this case, direct from Baen.)
