I do not need to use a VPN from the Netherlands, so you should not need one in the UK.

This works for most US ebook stores. Although sometimes you will need to use an VPN like Hotspot Shield (free) to get an US IP-address.


geertm,

If I do this by registering with a US address, where will the e-book be downloaded to?

Just to let you know, I have the Kindle for PC and a Nook. I registered with Barnes & Noble (they serve the Nook and are U.S.-based) but they still would not accept my credit card for downloading the ebook which was on their website. Should I re-register using a US address and try again from Barnes & Noble?

Thanks
