I just checked out a book in Kindle format from the public library. And got all the way over to Amazon. Where it told me I MUST use a USB cable to download the book... MY KINDLE APPLICATION IS ON THE PC. There IS no USB. So, HOW do I get the book to my Kindle application?

I contacted Amazon customer support. And after an astonishingly long wait, I was told in broken English that "You CANNOT get the book onto your Kindle application on your PC. You must PURCHASE a Kindle device."

Oh... I requested to be transferred to someone with (hopefully) more knowledge of how to perform this operation, and was refused.

Did I miss a button or something, or has the publisher stupidity infected Amazon, too?
My suggestion is to check it out as an epub or pdf and read it in ADE if you're going to read it on a computer anyway.
