I dont use the kindle to buy books but always do it through the computer so I always have a copy. And have never had the problem with the wireless not working.
But I do flip backwards and forwards from the US to AUS on the PC. And yesterday I managed to buy a US book with an Australian credit card - thought I had more left on the gift card. I must have put that credit card to the '1click' by default when the gift card ran out, and it went through just fine. It didnt even ask me if this was the correct card. So maybe a blind eye is being turned even to AUS credit cards, as long as there is a US address registered to the account.
Amazon knows what you do with the kindle as soon as you turn the wireless on - it logs everything that has happened with the kindle including installing the hacks. I think if it was forced delete books bought from the US only site then turning on the wireless is where that deletion would happen. No wireless = no deletion. This happened recently when Lord of the Rings was deleted from people's kindles; Amazon had accidentally made the books available on the kindle but the publishers forced Amazon to withdraw the book. And extract it from peoples kindles.
