Hi Guys

Going to get an iPad soon, and had a question re the Kindle app.

I notice that if I have my region set as Asia/Pacific - New Zealand on Amazon, the list of books available is virtually nil.  However if I change it to the US, you get all the Kindle books at US prices.

Now my question is, will I be able to use the Kindle app and link my NZ credit card to the US Amazon store to get access to all the Kindle books?

Cheers

You can,  I do this now with a Kindle and also Kindle on my iPhone.  I was living in the US for a while but have since changed it back to MY NZ address (I do live back in NZ).  It still works when purchasing books in the US Amazon store, and, yes, with my NZ credit card. 

You "might" have to say you have a US address at first and then, if need be, change it back to the NZ address.

Once you have US store you can access content anywhere. You can't however create a US account anywhere but the USA or Canada.

His question was regarding the Amazon Kindle eBook store, not the Apple iTunes Store.
