Bought "The Hydrogen Sonata" today, in Germany, on my KT, registered to my US Account (complete with US credit card, etc.), no problems.

Not buying ebooks from Amazon.com (from germany) often, maybe once every 3 months, but haven't got a letter from them so far either.
Buying with a fake US account with a semi-fake Alaska address (as in it exists, but I do not live there) and using gift cards from my legit account as money source. And buying from my PC with delivery to Kindle for PC, never from the Kindle directly. Without using VPN or other stuff, so I have a german IP address. Although I will in the future prolyl only buy there when using spotfulx (which I recommend above flyvpn). |

so the real question is not "is this new" it's what specific conditions are causing this block to come into affect. it's clear from reading this forum that it's sporadic and not affecting every user... anyone figure out they how when why what? karl |

The only thing that I've seen (and others here have mentioned) is that it mainly (not at all sure if that's absolute) seems to happen to those who purchase directly from their Kindle device.

One could simply use TOR for free, if one wants to hide one's IP address. |
