Frankly it's probably safer to set up a completely separate "US" account from the beginning, always use a VPN IP proxy when making purchases and downloads to your computer, and pay for any books you buy using gift cards if you hope to regularly tiptoe around geo-restrictions (really, they should be offering books worldwide and splitting up the rights among publishers according to language instead of territory).
Well, I was thinking about setting up a different Amazon account with US address, but how would it work? I know the DRM is linked to my own particular Kindle, so I suppose I would have to "fake" completely the address and other stuff with a proxy too, but the credit card would sell me. I've never ever bought gift cards, so I dunno, I gotta plan this well.

I'm not too sure about this but it seems less "sloppy" than changing the address in my main account. I got that warning mail once but I just changed my address back to the spanish one and everything got fine, and I don't want to risk it too much. I'm really pissed because it's not a matter of one book that I might get, but damn series that I've started and for some reason Amazon doesn't want me to read half the numbers.
