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.

This sounds like what I want to do. I live in Canada and have an amazon.com account (and kindle for PC and a few other platforms) with a US address (a UPS store near the border where I occasionally receive packages). I got one of those emails asking to verify my address once...but I ignored it and it went away.
I'm thinking of buying a kindle 3 and linking it to my US address account. I wonder if using whispersync on 3G from Canada would precipitate an email (or worse).
Can one still browse the web on 3G in countries outside of the US (such as Canada)?
