Hi,
Brand new member.
I was just reading reviews on the Kindle 3.
I live in America and my daughter is in Australia, but I think she'd love the Kindle 3 (w/3G) for Christmas.

But, as I read reviews, I found this site and lots of people complaining that not all the Kindle Store titles can be bought if you are in Australia
Am I right in assuming this...
That if I buy the kindle here, and she registers it with our home (USA) address she can use Kindle Store gift cards to make her purchases and it will all be okay for her to buy any title that is available in the US.

Or, am I over simplifying this and it'll be continually frustrating for her to see books she can't buy or has to do a lot of searching to be able to buy?

I'd also love to hear any good reviews on what she (23-yo) might love about having a Kindle.

Thanks heaps... Di.
