Hi Tad.

I guess I don't see the inconsistency. Apparently one must have a US credit card account with Amazon, which I suppose most of us do (??) even if one is planning to pay entirely with a Gift Card. Reading down the comments on nerdgirl's site indicates that the procedure described in her original post doesn't work for those outside the US.

Looks like those outside the US are out of luck unless they have a friend or relative here who can maintain an account for them (and buy and ship a Kindle to them). Hopefully this will be fixed soon but I think there are serious international publishing rights and perhaps tax issues to be overcome.
