Couple of issues regarding this method that I found last night;

1. Need to attach an account or card to the Paypal account (which is country of location based, in the main) to use auto checkout feature. Do the ebook stores check account origins or the Paypal mail address?

2. Which US address do you use (ignoring the fact it might be considered identity theft...)?

Finally, the book will have DRM attached to it that will need to be removed before use. A helpful soul would need to have your PID etc to be able to allow the DRM to be removed (in the case of Mobipocket at least)

If anyone can solve or shed more light on solving these issues?

As I said earlier, my morality meter is beeping but can be turned down considerably if a workable Paypal solution enabling me to buy books that I want is presented.
