Then I purchased myself a gift certificate. And now I have been able to purchase books from the US site. My preference is to download them to my PC and transfer them that way, rather than wirelessly direct to the kindle.

So, no need to deregister/re-register your kindle to another account - just add the US address as the default billing and mailing address. I dont use my credit card (havent tried that yet) but the gift certificate works well.
Do you have a Billing Method listed under "Your Default 1-Click Payment Method" on the "Manage Your Kindle" page? As I understand it, you must use a credit card for 1-Click purchases. So I suspect your gift certificate method means you can't buy books from the Kindle over Whispernet (since this uses 1-Click) - is this correct?
