buying from amazon.com with gift certificates problem

Hello.
I'm trying to buy some books from amazon.com using the known method (gift certificates). It's the first time I'm trying, but I don't know what I do wrong because it's not working. What I have done so far:
1. Purchased a 5 US dollars gift certificate.
2. The certificate applied to the "Kindle" acount. No credit card registered here, and a mail address somewhere in New York.
3. I'm browsing the web using www.hidemyass.com proxy. It's slow but it seems to be working. I've deleted all my cookies, just in case.
4. Find a book with a lower price than 5$. For example Mark Twain complete works.
5. Click "Buy now with 1-Click".
6. Enter login email and password.

After step 6 I get an error:
"Due to copyright restrictions, the Kindle title you're trying to purchase is not available in your country (United States). Did you recently move to a new country?"

Something is wrong, but what? It can't be the country (United States), it's not telling anything about the payment option. So what can it be?

Thanks for your ideas...
Can somebody confirm that they can still buy books using this method?
