Yes, you can download books to your PC and then sideload to your Kindle. Many of us use Calibre to catalogue and control our ebooks on a PC.

What type of reception are you speaking about?

Is your Kindle having difficulty connecting to your network (such as an at home router) or are you not receiving good 3G connections?

or Both???
