But I think also these people were using whispernet to buy books, do you solely get books via your computer?

I've had US Kindles until 4 months ago. Till then I've bought all my eBooks via PC. Without proxy. Never have had a single problem.
I've bought DX Graphite about 3 months ago and Kindle 3 (or is it Kindle 2 Graphite?) about 4 weeks ago. Since then I've bought a few books directly on my Kindles. Without any problems as well.
Before that, I've bought some eBooks via Kindle app on my iPad. Again - without proxy and from a German IP address.
Should I run into problems, I'd open a separate account (1 x German, 1 x US, maybe even 1 x UK). But I'd like to avoid that. It's painful enough to track all those different accounts (BooksOnBoard, Fictionwise, Weltbild, Libri, B&N, Sony, ...). I don't want to add several Amazon accounts to that...
