My understanding is that content is sent straight to your Kindle from the Amazon site. You can transfer content (in a compatable format) to your kindle from your PC but you cannot get DRM books from Amazon. As noted the book is sent straight to your device (via EVDO) and no provider in Australia currently operates an EVDO service (I think Telstra had one but this has been replaced by 3G). The gist of this is that it is unlikely that we will ever get the Kindle here until 1. Someone sets up an EVDO network and then partners with Amazon or 2. the wireless technology of the kindle changes to wifi/HSDPA(3G).
Try the illiad or cybook and use mobipocket (or similar) for your DRM material. They have an excellent range. If you are not using DRM material, look at the Hanlin or the jetBook (reflective TFT).
Cheers
