The best way to use Kindle outside the US (I don't know about within the United States) is not to.

There are perfectly good alternatives which are not US-centric, don't cost an arm and a leg to buy and import, don't load the price of titles, don't restrict you to a single bookstore and don't block you from buying books because of some odd copyright problem they have. (Sorry -- I do realise that a mere 70,000 titles are unavailble from Amazon/Kindle outside the US -- shouldn't even have mentioned it, eh?)

Buy a Sony 505 or something else that's decent.
