But none of that is necessary.
All you need are different addresses/countries within a single account.
You can use the very same credit card, no matter what country you're using. Your credit card always links to the very same (the correct one) billing address.
All you have to do is switch countries in your Kindle settings on the amazon website.
You can switch back and forth between countries.
I've done so dozens, maybe hundreds, of times.
Amazon did contact me once or twice and asked, whether I had moved recently.

But, I don't want to keep switching Kindle for PC back and forth which forces us to frequently transfer purchases sometimes several times a day. This may be considered suspicious behavior. It's obvious I didn't relocate. And I need to avoid Amazon trying to contact me as it is a fake phone number in UK.
What I would like is to have two separate accounts with two separate Kindle for PCs one in US and other UK. When I try I get:

We did not find a Kindle device or a reading app that supports this item registered to your Amazon account.

And this is true. Amazon (and possibly my computer) prevents me from installing a second Kindle for PC. Plus, I think this affects Calibre DRM removal.
Then I have the credit card issue. My bank is quick to block foreign transactions and numerous small ones. Of course, this isn't Amazon's fault.
It's extremely easy to shop at Kobo UK and Books on Board UK as there are no geo restrictions to speak of.
Edit: It may be easier for those that have two Kindles or two computers but I have neither.
