I do not think your credit card matters when buying eBooks. You can set your country code when you purchase books at the US Amazon Kindle store. They do check IP though because, before I learned about this setting and it was set to US, I purchased a book - but it wouldn't download to my country because of geographical restrictions. But I paid the US price (no VAT) and was not charged the $2.30 surcharge. However, when the book went into the intl domain a couple of months later - I was suddenly allowed to download it!

What I don't know if whether my credit card, with the Greek billing address, will be "allowed" to purchase the "Intl Kindle DXG" and have it ship to a US address? the other alternative - can I buy a "US Kindle" with my Greek cc for a US address? I will try sometime this weekend and let you know!

I'm not too stressed though. It is really just for home use and I can sideload books from my PC. I do not buy many books from Amazon at any rate - maybe I've actually purchased 2-3 that were not "free = $2.30" over the past year.

I don't really even need another eReader (huge understatement!). ;-)
