Does anyone have any thoughts on getting content to the Fire while outside of the US. I am considering using a VPN service for the US. I am thinking about updating the content on the Fire going through a a US VPN. I don't know what settings I can change on the Fire yet. Either way, i think if I was to put the vpn client on my laptop and connect to Amazon MP3 cloud ETC will be available. In fact it is, I've checked.
This works, there's no VPN support built into the Kindle itself on purpose but if you do it from another PC or router then it does work. I've been doing it on and off for a bit but I hardly ever use Amazon streaming despite having Amazon Prime and access to all their streaming content, too slow on my Streamyx line and frankly speaking, Hulu, Netflix and/or iTunes have better content

is it safe to buy books using my Amazon account through kindle? Will they find out where I am and thus block the account and what not?
Yes you can buy Amazon items through the Kindle but it's cumbersome. Better to buy it on the website and have it pushed to the Kindle. Either way though they will find out unless you religiously use VPN 24/7. My account was frozen at one point and they asked for verification that I was a US "resident" by scanning a copy of a utility bill or drivers' license. I did the latter and was unfrozen and never questioned again.So if you still have some current US identification then you're ok, just tell them you're travelling or something. Otherwise you will eventually get blocked/banned by Amazon for accessing content from outside the US.
