No, it's explicitly tied to your account address, not physical locations.

One of the advertised features is you can bring your US Kindle to Europe and still buy and download books over 3G.

This is also why I, in Canada, can simply change my address in Amazon to be in the US and order books only available in the US due to licensing restrictions.

This thread prompted me to thinking. As cross border internet commerce grows, governments are going to have an increasing incentive to find ways to contain or recoup losses of sales taxes, tariffs and customs duties on cross border transactions. This could lead to efforts to find technological solutions with international co-ordination and enforcement of internet commerce. I expect the technological and regulatory difficulties would be a nightmare but given the volumes of money involved the governments may feel a real incentive to try (to protect their revenues). Can't say I'd thought of this before just now.

No we're not, it's supposed to do that, it's a bug, users are dumb.

In other news, the white Iphone is coming out, which will upload the photos you take on it to a central database in Steve Jobs' underwater lair.
