The simplest solution is to simply buy the Kindle and ship it directly to your door. I bought the Kindle 2 on Nov 20 and it arrived Nov 21. I've had no issues buying from amazon.com for e-books. It's not just that some of the content is a bit different; some of the pricing is different. Yes, many titles are more expensive; surprisingly, some are lower in Canada than the US. If you genuinely are mostly interested in free classics then for the small amount of money you spend at Amazon every year for commercial titles it's probably not worth the hassle of operating a pseudo US account, having a friend ship the Kindle separately, and buying gift cards.
