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
I got an email for a book which I had already bought before I ordered the K3, with my account set to the Netherlands. I then (to check some prices) set my country to US (with a valid address), and didn't even do anything (actually, I forgot about it). And suddenly I got an email

I didn't order a book, and as far as I know, my husband (it's his Kindle) didn't buy a book (I'd have known about it, as it's linked to my amazon account!). I still got the email...
