I searched a bit but couldn't find any concrete answers...so i'm hoping some of you can help!

Parents bought me a kindle, they live in USA. I live in Canada. I'm going to register it on my credit card (Canadian credit card). Some of the books aren't available in Canada but I've read some posts and searched the web that said it MAY be possible to purchase gift cards with my credit card, and enter my parents US address to get the books. Is that possible when I'm in Canada, or are there coutry region restrictions with respect to downloads? Can I download it directly to the Kindle or do I have to download through a computer?

Any advice will help! Thanks!
