In your case, I believe registering it from the start to your US account and doing everything from there should be enough.

That's weird since I would assume the Japanese ads business and backend ad network would be run regionally. It's well known that one reason Amazon support will remove ads gratis is if you are going to be using the Kindle in a country other than the region it was purchased in (making the ads pointless). Of course be careful of asking for too many courtesies, might result in getting fired as a customer.

Amazon Japan really does get the best offers. I bought my PW3 during a discount for Mother's Day and ended up spending around 50euros for it with the 40% cut in price + euro/yen exchange rate...

Nice. Though i'm sure those prices will start normalizing once Amazon has solidified its foothold. I've ridden the metro and jr around Tokyo quite a lot and frankly I haven't seen a single local with an e-reader. Everyone is either reading a paperback or on their keitai.
