@spindlegirl You can download Kindle books to your computer. Just under the "Buy now with 1-Click" button is a "Deliver to:" drop-down menu. Select "Transfer via Computer" from that drop-down and your browser will download a file. For books you've already bought, in the "Your Kindle Library" page in "Manage your Kindle" on the Amazon website, there's a "Download & transfer via USB" option when you click on the Actions button.
Also, I've found that the Kindle Reader app in Chrome works well on Linux.
