he's an ex-pat. right now obviously the Kindle is registered to my address and I will give him the choice of leaving it that way or de-registering it from my account and putting it on his own. regardless... he actually has a US Mail drop address, comes up every 2 months or so for books he has ordered from Amazon ironically enough, the huge COSTCO run and medical appointments

I can confirm it does work! If you have an International Kindle, that was shipped outside the US, but you also have a legitimate (some even use Hotels etc) US address, especially a mail drop address as the default address in '1 click' then US books are available.

It will work temporarily, but after you've bought a couple of books, Amazon will query the fact that you claim to be in the US, and yet your Kindle isn't.

Whispernet works for delivery of books, yes, but not for general web-browsing, which is what the download links use. That only works in the US.

60 books so far. It is a proper address though, not a fake one and I will receive any mail that is sent to that address.

Whispernet works fine in Australia, but only for downloading books, not general internet stuff.
