They could try, bit I'm not sure how they would do this. How do they know if the person is in the US or not? You could have parents getting their kids a Kindle and giving them a budget of giftcards for book buying.

You might say, oh do it via IP. But, Amazon supports Kindle owners being able to access their books via the web site when they are out of Whispernet area. And out of area doesn't mean out of country... there is alot of the US that is not covered by sprint's network.
