Careful with that! Unless you have a US credit card to go along with that US address you won't be able to buy very many books with your "US account". I'm in Canada & fortunately I have a US credit card.

Before adding my US card to my account, it stopped me after 5 or 6 books. I got the same message you did & it kept telling me to call customer service and wouldn't let me buy anymore. Including trying to get the free ones. As soon as I added my US card to go with my US address that message stopped.
