Welcome to Mobileread. Others will be along in a moment, possibly with more details.

The answer to your question is yes, with caveats.

To buy from the Kindle ebook store without hassle, you need to have a a US Credit Card with a US address.

To buy from the Sony US store, there are some similar problems.

But there are lots of other ebook stores that will take your money.

And so long as you've got internet access and a computer, you can just download to the computer and copy the books onto the ebook reader.
