I do not know if this still works, but you could give it a try.

I will try, and I do in fact have a legitimate UK address (though not a UK
billing address), but I hate having to resort to duplicity, however inconsequential, for such a simple transaction as buying books. Does anyone know what those "taxation and contractual issues" are supposed to be? Will all UK ebook stores be enforcing this?
In the time of paper books, one could buy books from abroad no problem. In the time of digital products, will we have to only read local produce? That's beyond ridiculous...
