As desertgrandma said, you don't have to live in the USA to own and use a Kindle. The only requirement is that you must have a credit card with a billing address in the USA. Some people outside the US have gotten a pre-paid credit card and a US mail drop address. Once you have the credit card on file with Amazon, you can then use gift certificates to fund your purchases of eBooks. Download to your PC (or Mac) and then push to the Kindle through the USB connection. You won't be able to get the book samples, since they only deliver through the built-in wireless. And, I'm not sure if you can get newspaper or blog subscriptions, but those wouldn't be available for a Sony or Cybook or any other brand of reader, either.
