Just for the record, when I tried the VPN method, everything worked fine until I went to buy, then country of origin for my credit card, gave an error message.

That means at the very least, I need an American credit card, which requires an American address, and if my memory serves me correctly, needs some confirmation of living at that address for a few months (power bill or something) ... not with Amazon, the bank.

Then you need a dedicated device for the American Amazon account you create. I did start going down the road of a multi-boot PC, because I wanted to use my Kindle For PC for my wife's Amazon account, and it only allows one account (user) by default (truly dumb).

I also speculated on being able to use the multi-boot method to assign another credit card and Amazon account, so that I could use the Aussie Amazon store, without losing access to my current US Amazon account. I believe that would have worked, because both are based on an Aussie address (country of origin).

My apologies for the complexity of multi-boot for some. Essentially, if you boot into another instance of Windows, you get a fresh copy of Kindle For PC.

P.S. Just logging into another user on the same PC, was not enough I discovered, as Kindle For PC is not user based, but setup for All Users. In other words, the same copy of the program is always used, regardless of who is logged in. Another copy of Windows solves that.
