As you've discovered, you do need a US address to enable 1-Click for ebook purchases. There are also several other difficulties in using the Kindle outside the US. You can't directly download free samples (but you can do it to an iPod which is sync'd to your Kindle) and you can't get to the Setting screen.
But apart from those minor hassles, I'm delighted with my Kindle, and I hope you will be with yours. If you have any specific issues with using the K outside the USA, this is the place to ask.

Mike, I assume you have a US address as the address of record on the Kindle account? Is the Kindle registered? To that address? Sorry if postings clumsy, still feeling my way. Spent 10 days visiting your lovely city last October and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, BTW.
