Is it possible to download your kindle purchases from amazon's site or some such without physically owning a kindle?

I ask because the ability to do so is a prerequisite to me posting a want ad for a broken kindle so I can register it to my amazon account and purchase ebooks from amazon for conversion and use on my Nokia N810.

Alternatively, if some kindly kindle owner here would send me the AMZ files I would gladly paypal them the money for the books (or whatever).

I really want new/popular scifi/fantasy ebooks, and Amazon has a few I want, but I vehemently do not want a kindle. I can afford it, but I don't like the device itself and do not wish to blow $360 for the ability to buy ebooks from amazon.
