日本でAmazon Kindleは使えますでしょうか？

米国Amazon社に問い合わせてみたところ、下記の回答を得た。

Thank you for writing to us about purchasing Kindle content while traveling

outside of the United States. Whispernet, which allows you to

take advantage of Kindle's wireless features, is available only in the United States.

However, you can still make purchases over the Internet from the Amazon

Kindle Store while outside the wireless service area. To successfully purchase

digital content from the Amazon Kindle Store, the 1-Click payment method

listed on the Manage Your Kindle page must be a credit or debit card issued by

a U.S. Bank with a U.S. billing address.

ということで、PCからのUSB接続で購入したコンテンツを保存することはできるが、

日本ではEV-DOは使えないらしい。
