About the first option...
- Why would it be illegal? You're not creating a fake US passport or anything, you said you were a resident to some automated form on the internet. Who's going to arrest you for registering on an internet store? o_O
Edit: wait, you're not claiming to be a resident, you're just saying you live in the US or have an address there. Seriously is that a crime I don't know about?
A lot of people have different accounts on the Playstation3 for example and use fake japaneses addresses to get a japanese account and d/l stuff from their store that hasn't yet made it to the US ones. It's not a big deal.
- Morally... wrong? You're registering to a store that wants your buisness. I'm sure they'd be open in every country in the world if they could, but can't for whatever reasons. And you're paying for whatever you're buying. It's like traveling to the US and buying stuff from a mall there. Well not exactly but you get the point.
I found this thread/forum when I was googling PRS-505 and mobipocket. I'm planning to get my first ebook reader soon but I'm not sure which, and I'll be using it outside the US. Your post kinda scared me, think of this post as me also replying to myself, heh.
Kindle though works everywhere, maybe not the wireless connection but you can connect to the store and buy stuff. Though maybe you need a US credit card and address, I don't know. hmmmm....
