Is this something that HideMyAss VPN based in USA would avoid, or is this my quota for now?
How do you buy the books: with gift-card or credit-card? Do you buy them straight from the phone? Just heard of another member with Kindle for Android that got his account red flagged for not being in the U.S. Your phone is certainly more easy to pinpoint location wise.
