After several attempts Amazon service finally gave me some straight answers. You can only register the international Kindle 2 to a foreign account. The Iphone app, the US (CDMA) Kindle, and the DX all need to be registered to a US account. And for a US account you are supposed to be using a US credit card with a US billing address. You have to pay higher prices for international accounts even if you download from your computer.

So for those of you who got a Kindle of any kind in the past, nothing changes. Well, they won't get my business this way. Back to waiting to see what the DRG800 and Plastic Logic will actually deliver.
