I'm a Canadian who bought a Kindle 3.
I want to test out accessing and purchasing from the US store. If it is as I suspect (larger selection, games, more free items), I would stick to using the US store. I've read some experiences about switching, but I've also read conflicting experiences about what works now.

Here are my questions:

1. Is it as simple as adding a valid US address in "Mange My Kindle"?
2. Can I download my purchases via 3G without Amazon clamping down on my account? Will the entire internet continue to be accessible via 3G?
3. If yes to 2, if I download via 3G, are there additional charges assessed because I'd technically be roaming?
4. Do I still have to go through using gift cards or will my Canadian credit card work for one-click purchases?
