One benefit of the Kindle is that it does allow this kind of purchase: you can buy a book from the Amazon web site, select the device to deliver it to, and download a file you can copy onto your device via USB. No software needed on the PC (other than a web browser).

Of course, doing it via WiFi and buying a book directly on the device is much easier, and in most places it's not difficult to find WiFi these days.
