You are mistaken . You can download any Mobipocket book or PDF file, for example, directly from the browser.

Sony is more open the third party - you can also get books over the air from Google books and Overdrive library also.
Google, no, since they use the ePub format which the Kindle doesn't support, but Overdrive, yes, at least in the US where Overdrive are now supplying Kindle-format books.

Are you able to access Google in Kindle off a highlighted word?
Yes. When you highlight a word on the Kindle you can either look in up in the dictionary, or search for it either in Wikipedia or on Google.
