Grrr, I did have a USA address as the one-click after all. I get the email to download the APK but when I open that all it does it take me to the Amazon app store and I have to download all over again. If I sideload the app to an android, it is only the app to the App store and not an app in itself. Last edited by Pushka; 11-08-2011 at 12:56 AM. |

I subscribed to StrongVPN for 3 months and was connected fine. But Amazon still picks up I am not in the USA.

Well, 8 days and I'll have an answer for you. I'm going to be in the US next week, and will pick up my Fire. Then, when I get back, I'll configure the network for VPN to the US and see what I can see.

I know you Canadians can take care of a lot of things with relatives or friends in the US. I send "gifts" all the time to a relative.
As for the IP checking, it is easy to get a free Proxy, but if you are going to use the bandwidth that streaming movies takes, it might require a paid proxy. |

I have managed to use a free proxy to get the Amazon movies streamed, but for the App store - no dice! |

Well, looks like my Fire will be waiting for me when I get to Washington. My CC just got charged.
It will still have to wait until I get back to test out the VPN solution. I'll be configuring a router to do VPN to a West Coast server. Details if it works. |

Works. No VPN required. Use the App store download explained in the article. Whoop! |

I do not have a US library card. I use the BC Provincial library system to download my eBooks (as ePubs), and then strip DRM and convert to read on my Kindle. |
