Once purchased, there is no fee to download your Kindle books, regardless of where you read them. Downloading personal docs via Whispernet does incur a charge, which is based upon where it is downloaded (US fees are less than most international fees, which directly reflects their cost of delivery).

In that case you might create a second Amazon US account, use Kindle DX to buy the (US-) books and transfer them to your Kindle.
