If the cousin lives in Canada, my honest advice would be to just register the Kindle to the Canadian account and have done with it. I'm sure there's no shortage of books available to people in Canada. Trying to "beat the system" is probably not a very good idea.
The problem occurs when you want to buy a book that isn't available in your home country. It's not a matter of trying to beat the system. I have ordered books from the UK because they did not have a US distributor. These have been print books as digital books come with regional restrictions.
