If so, I had to prove them with a copy of my ID sent to them via e-mail  |
Were you using 3g to download the issue of USA Today? While no one has been able to say for certain, it seems that downloading from a US account while abroad using 3g is what seems to trigger the emails.
I am in Canada, I have a US address on my account. Bought one book and had it wirelessly delivered to my iphone over 3g - I got the email.
Since then, I have bought books and downloaded via pc (using a US proxy) - no email. I have also downloaded items from my archive directly from my kindle via wifi - no email.
Next up, I am going to try buy a book directly from my kindle (over wifi) and see what happens. If that works, also going to try download via PC with no proxy
