Avoiding exchange rate fees? (Buying books outside US)

Hi,

I am currently living in the US but I'm moving permanently back to Europe soon. I wonder how I can keep purchasing books for the US price there. I know that I can just use a US adress and do so, but each time I pay a book in the US store, there would be a exchange rate fee due to my German credit card.
Even if I kept my US debit card, I need to fill up the checking account constantly, which also incurs a fee.

So how can I do it without the fees? Can I maybe purchase Gift Cards on the German Amazon.de and use it on Amazon.com?

Thanks!
