According to the reading I've been doing, you can change your address to one that isn't actually your address. I've seen posts by people that say they just put in a random business address. It has also been suggested that your credit card does not have to be from the same country as the address.

The point of contention seems to be what triggers Amazon finding out that you aren't where you say you are. Some people suggest it's the out of country credit card and recommend buying gift certificates for your American account. Others believe it's the wireless, so as long as you download onto your computer you're okay.

Here's one of the better links I found on it:

Note I still haven't given it a shot, I downloaded a couple classics off of Gutenburg. Do let me know if you try it.
