Is there a way for me to read e-books from Amazon on my Mac without owning and Nook, Kindle, etc.? An application maybe, preferably free? With a browser?

There is a free Kindle app in the App Store called "Kindle" that should do the job. I have used the Kindle app on on my iPhone and iPad and they work well. There is a Nook app for the iPhone/iPad but no equivalent app for the Mac. You still have to have an account and purchase the books.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

If you're seriously into e-books, you might want to check out Calibre (freeware). It's way more (and bigger) that just a reader and may thus be overkill, but you may like the added functionality.

Amazon's own free Kindle for Mac, which I have seen in use in zero computers to date.

I'm using 10.4, so no Kindle app for me.

I have the Kindle for Mac app, though I use it for checking Kindle books rather than reading them (I write for Kindle, which helps pay the rent).
