Amazon problem: You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

You can buy ebooks from a Kindle Store from outside the U.S.. Let’s see whether it makes sense to have a U.S. address and whether you can buy ebook in the US Kindle Store using a U.S. address, while being outside U.S.A.

Kindle Store books are priced differently for people from different countries. The same book can be free for a customer from the U.S.A., while being not free for other customers. Here is an example: How to Make Money with Social Media: An Insider’s Guide on Using New and Emerging Media to Grow Your Business [Kindle Edition] by Jamie Turner, Reshma Shah is free for US customers and costs $2 for customers from Russia:

Kindle Store ebook for a customer from the U.S.A: How to Make Money with Social Media

 

Kindle Store ebook for a customer from Russia: How to Make Money with Social Media

 

If you move to another country, you can buy about 5 ebooks using your U.S. address. But then you will get the following message:

Name Surname, please contact us or change your country to complete your purchase.

You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

Are you traveling outside your country?

Please contact customer service in order to continue purchasing Kindle items.

Did you recently move to a new country?

You can easily update your country for your Amazon account.

Amazon: You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

 

If you want to order ebooks from a US Kindle Store while using a U.S. address, being outside the U.S., and without contacting Amazon customer service, you need to use a U.S. IP address. You can get it by using a U.S. proxy server, a U.S. VPN (Virtual Private Network). You can also use Tor, but the latter is risky. When you have a U.S. IP address, you don’t get any messages and can buy ebooks from Kindle Store without any problem.
