I use Kindle for the Web using Puppy Linux as a live CD (no install) and the Firefox 7 pet (you have to use Firefox 7 or higher for Kindle for the web to run).

No permanent installation but the book is only available through your web browser, no file download.

And comics in the Kindle for the Web browers are terrible...as in literally unreadable since the "zoom in" function is virtually useless. But basic text only books work fine.
