Is it possible and permissible for someone in the U.S. to buy from Kobo in Australia? If so, do you know how someone can do it?

(In case someone is not familiar with it, Xe.com is a good, easy-to-use currency converter site).
If you're going to switch countries anyway, you may prefer to choose a site like India, where basically all books are couponable (as opposed to UK or Australia, where big 5 and some other publishers can't be discounted.) Just a thought.

ROM conversion is India RS600 = $10 US
As with purchases from any overseas location, you need to anticipate international/conversion charges from.your bank - mine charges .50 per transaction. Also maybe keep an eye on how your bank reacts, esp. if you haven't had many international charges lately. Mine alerts me (electronically), off and on, for both UK and India charges.
