Actually you shouldn't need to. The short how-to:

1) Add a valid US address to your account (you can get one for free from borderlinx.com among other places).

2) Set your new US address as your default 1-click address in your account settings.

3) Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network - basically a service that reroutes your Internet traffic so it appears to come from another address; in this case, you want Amazon to think your computer is located in the US) when buying/downloading from Amazon. There are lots of options here - Hotspot Shield is easy to set up and free (ad-supported). Just remember to turn it on before logging into Amazon (you can turn it off again after you've downloaded your books).
