But you can buy a K4 KSO with your Amazon account and have it shipped to a US address without any problem and than someone can ship them to you. Than you can also register it and in MYK section you can point out "US" as the Kindle's country, so you can have access to much more free books.
The KSOs are shipped only to a US address though. Or sold in US stores.

This is exactly what I am doing. I have a Kindle 4 NT KSO (phew!) delivered to a friend in NC who is coming back next week. Can't wait!

And I have a fire and touch that is going to a USA address then being shipped to Australia. Not that the fire is going to be very functional here.

Why not, what am I missing? I was planning on getting one (well, or Nook Tablet, haven't decided yet) as a cheaper non-iWhatever tablet. I'm in Europe, what's not going to be fully functional outside US?

The Fire is being sold largely as a content-consumption platform for Amazon's video services. Those services are only available in the US. That's why the Fire's only available in the US.

Try, streaming, the app store, possibly the in depth search function.....It will be fine as a reader though!

Does it physically detect where I am or can I register it in the US with an US Amazon account? I don't need streaming, but could use an app or two (btw are the iApps going to work on the Fire two? Excuse my ignorance )
I don't believe it'll be as good as a reader though, the battery life isn't that stunning.

It physically detects where you are through your IP address.
