So get your parents to get a Kindle for you. Set up two Amazon accounts. On one, use a credit card on a US bank with your parent's address. On the other, use your address in Scotland and your normal UK credit card. Now you can buy an Amazon.com gift certificate from your UK account and apply it to your US account. When buying books for the Kindle, no charges are made to the credit card if there are any gift certificate credits.

Or -- if your parents trust you, put your Kindle on their account. You can then share books with them. And just reimburse your parents for any books that you choose to buy.

Oh yes -- I should also welcome you to MobileRead!
