As we use a 240V system and US I think is 110V, does this matter, or is the only way to charge them both thru a USB port? I presume you can use a normal power point which takes a USB connection.
I have a friend in the USA who I hope will order them for me. Is there anything else I should be wary of if I go ahead with this order. e.g. setting up amazon account or somesuch?

Do bear in mind that the "Fire" is primarily a device for consumption of Amazon video content, and that this will not be available to you in Australia. You should consider what your use for the device is going to be in the absence of the available of such content. Its non-expandable 8GB storage makes it problematic for use as a general-purpose tablet. You will not have access to the Amazon App Store, either.
