Also, once you have a registered Kindle device, you can purchase a book using your PC's browser and have it download to the PC. If the book is DRM encumbered it will be configured for the specific device you specify at purchase time. This is an option not visible on their site until you have registered a device, not app, to your account. The downloaded ebook can then be copied to the device over USB on any OS that supports the MASS Storage standard.

And if you have the "Send to Kindle"app you can send other books and documents to your "Personal Documents" folder in your Kindle Archive and then later download them to your Kindle via the Kindle Wi Fi or 3G connection you have on your Kindle device. So you could have a book (in Kindle format) that you purchased at say Smashwords and have added to your Kindle Archive or even a book found here at MR that you have added to it and download it from your Kindle Archive to your Kindle reader at a later time. Meanwhile it's stored for you for easy retrieval later.
