Feel free to move this thread if I'm off base but I think this belongs in Dev.

My brother is going to South Africa for a few Months while his wife works on a Movie.

I am currently investigating Wireless Coverage/Kindle versions support on my own.

My Question is this, assuming he can get whispernet(type) coverage there, is there a way for him to access the US store from a South African friendly kindle version?

Or is he best just to plan on using his laptop to purchase books from Amazon US and transfer via USB.

also if he ended up with a Non-US region kindle are there any considerations for using it here (obviously 3G network is not the same)

Thoughts?
