I'm in Canada and bought the Kindle through ebay on Monday.
On Tuesday I received it, created a new account with a US address, bought and emailed a gift certificate to it, and used it to buy books on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Today I tried to buy a book, and got this message:

We are sorry...
We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase. Please refer to the terms of use for this product to determine the geographical restrictions.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I got the same message when I tried to buy another one.

Am I no longer able to buy books for the Kindle I registered online with? Is Amazon "on to me"? Is my life over?
