Just to keep this a little real. Amazon has scheduled a press event on Feb 9th. There is speculation as to what they will announce. But it isn't a certainty that it will be Kindle 2.0. But, Feb 9th is not so far away so we will know soon enough.

That said, yes the Kindle can be used out side of the US. You will not be able to use the Wireless feature though. If you want to buy Kindle books you will need a second amazon account separate from the one your non-US credit card is registered. You can buy gift cards from your main account and apply them to your Kindle account to buy Kindle books if wanted.

That said, there are many other sources for books that you can use on the Kindle other than Amazon. See the Wiki.
