1. Set up separate gmail account (US setting) and gift card. Gifted kindle to someone else. Set up US address.
2. When I am on Amazon it does show American listing.
3. But when I try to download book onto kindle or PC for kindle using the 1 click method a message comes up saying you are doing this outside USA and if I wanted to change the country setting.
I have read and re-read al the thread and still can't figure out my mistake. Please help!!
As I am a person with basic computer skills, I am too scared to go down the getting rid of DRM route ...

Just an idea: Is the US address valid? I've read somewhere (never had that problem myself, for me in Germany with 2 US Kindles it has been working from day 1 and still is),
they check the ZIP code. For example, they've asked me for the County ("are you inside or outside of xxx") because of different sets of taxes.
BTW:
You don't need gift cards anymore. With the introduction of the international Kindles,
Amazon started to accept any credit card (I use my German credit card for the US and sometimes UK),
you only need the US billing address.
