Not living in the US is not a problem.
Actually, it's one of the main selling points of Amazon.
Since the introduction of the international version of Kindle, ca. 3 years ago, you can use Kindle globally.
Personally, I'm frequently switching between the US and the German Kindle store.
Yes: Kindle Fire HD is closely tied to Amazon. In my point of view, it's mainly a consumption platform for Amazon content, not primarily a tablet.
But if the goal mainly is surfing and reading, it's more than adequate.
