I just hope Amazon doesn't continue combating us internationalists.
I use Hotspot Shield and a minute ago I was able to purchase the Random House Freebies (from Suvudu.com/freelibrary).

I downloaded the hotspot shield program, run it, sign in and see my iPhone still registered. 1-click buy, and now waiting for the ebooks to download on my iPhone app.

Update:
I was able to download the 3 freebies via my iPhone 3G connection. At first I thought I need to create a wifi connection and connect my iPhone to my laptop running hotspot shield. But when I tried with my normal 3G connection, 3 ebooks downloaded immediately.

Phew, at least there's still a workaround for the time being.
