Can be done with many phones setting them up as WiFi points. Or download to phone and use USB transfer via a USB2GO micro USB to USB-A adaptor (Almost all Android and Windows phones). Some tablets and laptops also have Mobile modems. Some are mini-PCI cards that can be updated.
The older Kindles no longer work with most HTTPS sites, though do still connect to the Amazon store. I don't know if purchase works, because it's a nasty way to get eBooks, better to select "Download to PC and Tranfer via USB" which does work with many phones and tablets, on Mobile or WiFi, not just laptops.
The publishers actually get charged according to file size for Mobile Whispernet. Compatibily is also a problem internationally and in the USA.
