Welcome Di:
If your daughter is a book fanatic, I think she will love the Kindle. It's very easy to read and she can throw it in her handbag or backpack and always have a selection of books at the ready. Tell her to join us here at Mobileread for tips and tricks for getting the most out of her Kindle.
I believe that your idea of registering the Kindle in the U.S might not work with the 3G service since the international Kindle is set up for different cell service. You might want to reconsider the wifi only version where she would add her ebooks via the internet or via usb connection to her computer. This should make her physical location a non-issue and allow her to keep her kindle registered in the U.S. and use gift certificates to purchase Amazon ebooks.
I'm sure that some of our Aussie members will comment on this and share their experiences as well.
cheers
