Buying European Kindle in US

Hello

A friend of mine is going on holidays to US staying in a friend's house. We have thought to buy a couple of Kindle using his friend's address to avoid paying shipping cost. Is this posible? Will Amazon accept to buy the european model with a US shipping address?

Regards

It is exactly the same model these days, so it doesn't matter. You'll just have to set the correct country in your Amazon account online. I'm not sure if ordering on a European credit card and delivering to a US address will work, but I don't see why not, as it could be a present for a US resident.
