That's the method that I used to buy books in the UK Amazon store, I had a friend who lived in Wales. I bought her an Amazon gift card and then she would buy ebooks in an account that had one of my Kindles associated with it. The account had her address. Of course, I only used it to get a handful of books that were available in the UK but not the US, I wasn't particularly worried about the cost. No real complications. You don't actually have to use VPN anymore. Personally, I see no difference between this and buying a book then shipping it to you.
