Amazon has an app.

Only Kindle for Mac can read Amazon ebooks with DRM. (Once Kindle for Mac is registered, I don't think it has any flashing cursors. Perhaps someone else can log in for you?)

Otherwise I would recommend removing the DRM. This is fairly straightforward if you have a E-Ink based Kindle. See Apprentice Alf's blog.
