"E=anamardoll;1895047]Well, hi there. I've tried to "do it", I have a degree in Electrical Engineering, and a job as a software engineer, and I found it incredibly difficult and couldn't get it to work. So I gently object to the ME SO EASY! brigade that makes it sound like all you have to do is send yourself a Paypal gift card and UK ebooks fall from the sky.
I assume, Harry, that you haven't tried to set things up from the US end. If you want to anonymously author a How To guide and post it somewhere, I'll google+ it to the high heavens.

At Amazon and (.uk) you can have multiple addresses - if you make one of them a UK address and switch 'your country' to that, you'll then see books from that country. You can still buy it as normally using whatever credit credit card. Whether Amazon will get narky about it (obviously they don't give a rat's arse, it is only publishers that bug them about it that they have to deal with it) is a probability > zero and they will say stop it. Doing it when Amazon have a bazillion extra things to do with like, say, at xmas might be a good time, too, probably.
You can also of course then use said VPN to buy using a UK IP address, too. Or whatever other region that might occasionally be useful.
