2) I think the problem for me is all about my physical location. When I try to buy a book on the American Kindle Store, it says:
"XXX, please contact us or change your country to complete your purchase.
You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.
Are you traveling outside your country?
Please contact customer service in order to continue purchasing Kindle items.
Did you recently move to a new country?
You can easily update your country for your Amazon account."

As a Brazilian I can answer your question in a quite simple way. Prices from books bought in US are normally different from those in Latin America, aka Brazil (in our case).
What Amazon is telling is that we must pay, quite often, around US$ 2.00 higher than prices in US. And, you know, there's no VAT (ICMS) under books stuff in our country, Amazon just charges overprice on Latin America countries.
So, either you go through a proxy, either change your country (and price). Thanks Amazon!
