With a registered Kindle device, you can at least download the file for USB transfer using nothing but the browser. With no registered Kindle device in the same scenario, you're out of luck.
The same scenario with Nook (now that they've discontinued browser downloads), and you're completely out of luck.
Of course you're always good to go at home with all the necessary reader programs, your special greasemonkey/tampermonkey scripts installed, and Python with alf-scripts and/or calibre with alf-plugins.  |
You should be able to (in the leisure of your own home) install K4PC or ADE to a flashdrive and run the executable directly, on another computer. No need for administrative privileges (which the installer itself needs) and you can even put them in say, the PortableApps menu. You would have to login as on a new computer, of course.
