I live in Canada. I have a US mailbox and a US credit card (PayPal, actually). But that US mailbox is in Washington state, where Amazon charges sales tax. So I also use my Aunt's address in Nevada (no sales tax).
I have ordered books, both free and paid, to both US addresses. (The credit card is the Washington state address.)
I have charged against both US and Canadian cc's. Amazon does NOT care.
They _do_ periodically warn me that ordering subscriptions sent to my Kindle via WhisperNet while I'm in Canada (which is pretty much 99% of the time) will result in charges. But I can order books via WhisperNet with absolutely no issues whatsoever.
