I understand that I might have to pay for any extra taxes but why can't we choose to be charged $2 when downloading over whispernet and have all other downloads to PC at the same price as the US Kindle store?

I know that I could just register in the US and then use a hotspot shield or whatever to try and hide but I want to complicate myself like that really...
