I am in the UK and I have a US address on my UK Amazon account, switching to that address in 'manage your kindle' migrates my kindle to the US store and allows me to purchase books using my UK credit card. When I transfer back to my UK address my US purchases simply migrate to the UK. Pre orders don't though. To get pre orders on the release date you need to change back to the US store and go through the migration process again.

I haven't had any problems and my books downloaded via wifi. I did get a message on my Kindle about roaming charges so I guess 3G downloads to another country, ie not the US, would incur a fee.
