Apologies if this gets complicated.
I live in the USA
My mom lives in Canada
I want to order a Kindle through my US Amazon account and send it to her in Canada so that she can purchase books on my US Amazon account and I pay for them.
1. Will her Canadian IP address block her from buying books on Amazon.com or does she have to buy them from Amazon.ca?
2. If the answer to 1 is yes
a) will books purchased on Amazon.ca be billed to me on Amazon.com because that's where the Kindle is registered?
b) should I just setup Amazon.ca account to use my US credit card?
3. [and I think I already know the answer to this but double checking] Will the Kindle state "Noctis's Kindle" or can I change that display name?
That gets those questions out of the way, and I did notice an anomaly with the Amazon.com website when ordering a Kindle for a foreign country - it does not list Canada as an option for the power cord and yet when I called Amazon they were pretty strict that I had to get the "Canadian" power cord (beyond certification there's no power difference for North America). Whatever, USB is fine, just confusing.
Thanks to any who can help clear this up, I'd like to get this purchased and sent before the postal strike and in time for her birthday late June.
