Why does anyone care "why" someone outside of the US buys a Kindle?? Is understanding someone's motivation going to help them with the problem??
I'm always a little curious when I see one of these "why on earth did you do that .... " sort of posts. They don't seem to be particularly helpful, they don't seem to add anything to the discussion ... unless you are a psychology major working on a study of Kindle buyers with a focus on purchases made outside of the United States.
Assuming that the buyer was able to purchase it using a US credit card and a US billing address, it shouldn't matter where in great googly moogly they actually are, because otherwise Kindle owners wouldn't be able to purchase books while traveling and outside of Whispernet range.
Cut the guy some slack. Sheesh.
