Dear friends,
How are you? I am planning to buy the new US$ 189.00 Kindle but I have some doubts. My main interest is using the device to read magazines such as The Economist and New Yorker -- both of them not available outside U.S.

I currently live in Mali and my credit card is from Brazil. My plan was to set up an American account using a pre-paid credit card and shipping it to a friend of mine in Canada, who is going soon to Brazil. Then I would use Amazon's gift cards to buy my magazines.

Do you know if I will succeed in my plan? What secure websites do you recommend to buy pre-paid credit cards?

Best,
