Calibre and read and convert just about anything.
There is a windows app for reading kindle docs on windows. I don’t know if there is a linux app, but I’d hope so. Oh, wait! Google is your friend: it looks like you are stuck with reading it in your browser (“Amazon Cloud Reader”, see http://techlaze.com/2011/08/linux-users-kindle-cloud/) or using wine (or similar) with their native windows programs (assuming that works). Linux Journal says you can read their .mobi files using Calibre, but I don’t know if kindle eBooks are .mobi format or not. (I do know there is an android app for reading kindle docs on android – I have one and have used it)

I see the Keir Thomas books on Amazon, only .99 (Even I can afford that!) and they look like what I'm in need of.
Sorry to reply to the whole list on the previous posts (geez, what a n00b!) but I guess this question might be for all ... is there a way to read Kindle publications if you don't own one?
