As I just suggested this worked brilliantly!

I'm in UK, and I hope this is allowed to be discussed here, sorry if not.

I used my US itunes account to download the Kindle app, and signed in on my ipod touch.

Then used the kindlepid script to get my PID, as amazon hide it now.

Then looked for a book, chose Wolf Hall (Booker prize winner) as it is £13 in most UK EBook stores, however $8.84 on Amazon, so £5.50ish!

Bought it, downloaded to ipod (if you don't have a kindle you cant download to your computer)

Then used iphonebackupextractor to get the prc file for the book.

Couple of scripts later (you know the ones) and a conversion to epub in Calibre and I'm happily reading on my Cool-er.

Great, open device and able to access most of the Kindle store.

(I know TOPAZ files are a no-go as yet)
