On this one, try and choose a state that doesn't charge sales tax! (Oregon is a good one. At first I chose Washington as my alternate residence - not so good...)

I've never really bothered with the VPN and haven't had a problem so far (some 30 books or so later!). Probably a good idea to be on the safe side, though.
OP, just bear in mind that you may get charged a conversion fee by your bank which pushes up the cost of the books.
