Tallpaul8,

Delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit here. Where are you located? Canada? Mexico?

To answer your questions:

- As it happens, I do have a US credit card, but it's registered to my Scottish address. But that doesn't matter because I don't use the card to purchase ebooks from the Kindle store - I use gift cards. Don't forget that you can have multiple addresses and multiple payment options registered with Amazon.

- Having said that, you do need a US address to enable 1-Click for ebook purchases. And you can't buy ebooks without enabling 1-Click. But that's OK for me, because my company does have a US address - we do a lot of business in the States. We just don't have a credit card registered to that address.

- As to whether the Kindle is registered to our US address -- I don't remember for sure, but I don't think I specified an address to register the Kindle itself (as opposed to enabling 1-Click). I think it only asked for my name and email address.
