How can I purchase Kindle Store ebooks outside the USA?

To purchase Kindle Store ebooks outside the USA, you may register a new Amazon account using an address in the USA. You can use the address of your family member, friend. Or you can get a virtual address mailbox in the USA from a service like Shipito.

If you have problems paying for Kindle Store ebooks with your credit card, just buy an Amazon.com Gift Card (e-mail gift card or printable gift card) and you will be able to pay with it for your order.

Please note that Amazon.com Gift Cards may not be redeemed for the purchase of products at Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.ca, or any other website operated by Amazon.com. You can use them on Amazon.com or Endless.com only.
