Absolutely you can use a gift card on your Cdn credit card and your parents US address. Register it as a US Kindle. This way you also avoid the extra $2.00 fee on books.

I have a K2 original and can access US whispernet from my home very close to the US border. It does not access whispernet in Canada. It's registered as a US Kindle. I'm not sure if a K2 International would access whispernet in Canada.

Please post if yours does, as I am thinking of upgrading to the International, to get Canadian access as well as U.S.
