I just purchased 3 books from amazon.com with an account set up with an American address despite the fact that I live outside the US. They were purchased as 3 separate "one click" transactions...for my "kindle for pc". I don't have a kindle-I have a cybook Gen 3 which reads .mobi files.

Another website from my country told me that those books were not available here.

I went to buy a 4th book in the same series MINUTES after the first three and amazon.com popped up a message about attempting to purchase an item while not in the country listed on my account.

Why was the 4th purchase affected and not the first 3? Same author, same publisher, purchases within minutes of each other.

Is there any way around this for my fourth purchase?
