I live on the other side of the World and bought a K3 with a virtual Visa online payment Card issued by a local bank and used with an internet bank account. No one at Amazon USA has ever queried it. I also use the same with Amazon UK for real books to send to the family. I can download Amazon USA ebooks, and these are be paid with the same.

I think you might even find that a Visa Electron debit card is acceptable. No harm in trying.

I have never used a US address. It would be pointless, since the K3 and its accompanying Amazon US management pages come already configured to work over the wi-fi and mobile phone systems in the country where you are resident. Certainly everything works perfectly well here in this less-developed country, and it will almost certainly work just as well in Italy.

Or am I missing something? (It certainly seems that way most days! ;-)
