If it works, and the books are i-clickable, is it best to download to my PC and then take a back up? Will they show in my kindle account on Amazon UK?
Also, if I immediatly change my address back to the UK will Amazon pick that up as suspicious, or am I best to wait a few weeks and then change it back, make it look like i have been in the US for a few weeks. I don't plan to buy any more books for a while anyway so waiting a few weeks won't be an issue

You can switch back and forth between various addresses in an instance.
They're totally aware of that. You could buy via proxy from their website, but 10 minutes later they could locate your reader's location being in Europe...
Obviously, they're position is: "Customer claims US residency. We've done our part".
And this kind of makes sense. Imagine US customers being on a trip and suddenly not being able to access their US account. If you introduce "global wireless", you have to go global...
Similar with Apple. Of course they easily could check, that my AppleTV has a German IP. But still I'm buying via US gift cards...
Money doesn't stink...
