You only need to change the country to get the new checkout screen. While there you can change back to your country from the same checkout screen without any problems and the code should work.
But if you want to buy more than one book you'll need to change the country every time before you purchase. There are two ways to do this:
one is to change it to X location that works and then open each book you plan to buy in a new tab, then go in each of those tabs and choose to buy so you are taken to the new checkout screen. Then you can change your location without affecting those checkout screens.
If you are going to be browsing and buying and then browsing again you might want to keep one window open with your account settings set to the country of your choice. Then in another tab do the purchasing and browsing. Every time you are going to open a specific book page you plan to buy go to the account window and click on "save". As the window hasn't been refreshed it'll still have the country/address info you want/need. Then in the checkout window you can apply the code if applicable and change the country to the one you need for your card to work.
Option one is easier...
Can I just make an observation that New Zealand prices are ridiculous? Whenever I changed back to my home country to use my card the price would drop, sometimes 30 percent, sometimes to about half of the New Zealand price. Heck, the New Zealand list prices were above both the Canada and the Mexican list prices.
