Note the second paragraph with Amazon explicitely stating that a US credit card is still required to complete the purchase. But at the same time, this place (thanks TadW!) has a step-by-step instruction how folks without US affiliation can still use Amazon Gift Cards to purchase e-books from Amazon.

So what's going on? Does it work for you? And do you have other tricks up your sleeve to get the most out of your Kindle reader, without living in the US?
Just a quick comment on this.

Apparently the work around posted on the nerdgirl site referenced by TadW doesn't work. The comments on the nerdgirl site from those who have tried it make that clear. Having an US account with the Kindle registered to it, as LazyScot does, seems to work.
