The limitations are based on your home address and your credit card. Just because a Kindle is bought in the US does not mean that you can shop in the US store. Your ability to buy books in the US store is based on have a US Credit Card tied to a US address.
If you want to have access to the US store you would need a credit card tied to your US based brothers US address. Maybe you can work something out with him where you send him a check for the books that you buy using his credit card, assuming he has a credit card that is tied to his US address issued by a US based bank.
