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).
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 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).

Well, all I can say is that it worked for me with gift cards applied to the account before buying. I used the VPN approach because of the international surcharge, which Amazon has since discarded, so I have no need for VPN any longer.
