Actually, my further reading indicates you have to ship it to a US address as well. Then someone can forward the shipment to you. It might make sense to have that person take it out of the box and register it wirelessly so the settings screen will be accessible to you, before sending it on to you.
Afterwards, I've heard conflicting reports on whether or not you can buy books with a foreign credit card. What you can do, though (since the Kindle will be tied the the US credit card Amazon account) is buy gift certificates with your foreign card Amazon account and apply them to your US card Amazon account, before buying books.
