Hi,

Being a sucker for a new gadget, I've pre-ordered the Kindle 2 International (I'm in the UK BTW). It should arrive next week.

Browsing the UK Kindle Store there are some notable omissions, for example no God Delusion, not much by Bill Bryson. These seem to be present in the US Kindle Store. There seems to be a workaround which permits purchasing of books from the US Kindle Store using Gift Certificates, which I am happy to do to get the books I want.

It may be too early to answer, but if I 'jump through the hoops' and use the Gift Certificate route to purchase from the US Kindle Store, will I be able to download the purchased books wirelessly from the UK?

Thanks in advance.
