Re: Kindle
Amazon made a big concession a while back which increased substantially the aus publications. But like I said above - it is the work of a few seconds to change your amazon profile account address to USA address and get the book you want then switch back to the Aussie address.

Re: Kindle
My understanding from the Kindle forum is that the address that matters to Amazon is that on your credit card account.

Hmm, maybe.
I have an Australian bank account linked to Amazon.Com and an English credit card linked to Amazon.co.uk. I can switch between both accounts.

Yes, I still have an UK credit card which is the one that Amazon UK have. It's the American part which would be desirable and more iffy!

I just tried to buy a book for my Kindle that was not available in Australia. I went into my amazon UK account, changed my address to a UK one and downloaded the book using the same aussie credit card I always use. Once book was downloaded to the kindle, I changed address back to my australian one - no problems

Humour me please Am starting to think this could be a good christmas pressie for 'them' to get me so let me get this right.
I (they) order one from Amazon US - international one? I set up an account with Amazon UK (or US??) using an Australian credit card and can then buy books by going into the account details, changing my address to a UK one or a US one, order the book, then go back into the account details and put the address back to my Australian real address. Is that it in a nutshell?

Brilliant I'll leave mine set with the UK address I got it delivered to, and only change it if I'm buying something for Aus delivery. Thanks heaps!!

That is officially your most confusing post ever. I don't even understand the question.
So you want to use a Oz credit card to buy a US Kindle for someone in the UK. And then the recipient would want to use a UK credit card to buy US books?
