Also a Kindle needs an address with payment method or it's crippled. I don't know which Kindle/Amazon Marketplace is used for Finland. Finnish people can buy a Kindle on the UK or German Amazon Marketplace, but the German one is recommended as they are in EU and you will have no issue with VAT, customs or 1 year warranty.

Not all models of Kindle can be bought on UK Marketplace for outside UK, even Isle of Man and Channel IS, or Ireland (UK is default Marketplace for Ireland), but I think German site is OK. Some non-Amazon products don't ship from Germany to Ireland. Often Germany works out cheaper than UK (even with shipping vs UK free over £25 on qualifying products) for Ireland. Buying for Finland should be the same as Ireland from Germany, by law.
A Kindle can be a registered with a valid Amazon account. You don't need an Amazon.com account to register a Kindle bought in the US.
