IPhone/IPod Kindle Books Singapore

It takes a series of get around to get kindle book on your ipod touch/iphone without jailbreaking.

Firstly, you need a US itunes account.. That’s another long story that i will not cover here.

1. Install Kindle for Iphone/Ipod by just adding the app (it is free) [Prerequiste, you are accessing the US Itunes store)

2. Buy a gift card on amazon using your singapore credit card with any amazon account (Note foreign currency charge: Master/Visa charge 0.8%, Amex a whopping 2%)

3. Open another account (ACCOUNT 2) and top using the gift card (i suppose u can use the same account, i did not try)

4. Setup a US VPN (this is to make Amazon believe you are in America) .. You can use the demo account from here (It last only 7 minutes)… i paid US1.49 for a day use, it is much faster.

IP: vpn1 to vpn9.usaip.eu (use vpn4.usaip.eu for america)
Username: demo
Password: demo

5. The first purchase they will ask for address, put VPOST Oregon address

7. Open you kindle2 app on iphone/ipod, login (ACCOUNT 2), it will auto-download the books you bought!
