If found some books that were only available in the US. I then changed my location to a US adress and could order them without a problem and they were delivered via Whispernet as normal. Only difference is that the $1.99 international delivery fee is charged seperatly. Apparently, they do not check the credit card, since I use a regular CC from Switzerland.

What I noticed though is that the country setting switches back to Switzerland after a while, maybe still linked with the CC information?

But at least I get to order all the books I want and I don't think Amazon is losing money on it since they charge the additional delivery fee, which if I order with my regular adress as a Non-US customer is included in the book price I think.
