To get UK books via Amazon you have 2 choices.
1. Establish an account at Amazon.co.uk and then register a Kindle device to that account. On the Manage My Kindle page you will need to put in a UK address. Payment will be in British Sterling pounds.

2. Establish an account at Amazon.com, register a Kindle device and then on the Manage My Kindle page you will need to put in a UK Address. If you want US availability prices you will need to put in a US address. It is possible to switch back and forth between these addresses with a couple of clicks of the button. Payment is made in US Dollars

So far Amazon has been extremely liberal about allowing people to switch that address around pretty much at will. That could always change.

The question then becomes whether you prefer to pay in pounds or dollars and what kind of foreign transaction fees your payment methods will apply when you do this. As far as moving your Kindle from one account to another - again it is very possible. Amazon is pretty unclear with any guidelines or standards that they feel are appropriate as to how often and when their customers are allowed to do this.
