Just as an FYI, Amazon US members can login with their US account and enable one-click ordering, which will make the ordering process pretty simple.
Could you clarify this, Steve? My Amazon US account requests for login
an EMail address and a password, not an account number. Is the former
what you meant to say, or is there some different type of account?
Your email address is your account identifier. So, yes, that is what I meant to say.

Yes; it is so simple that even I can do it. That is how I have ordered from amazon.co.uk and amazon.fr. I might try amazon.de if the shipping rates were lower, or amazon.co.jp if they had an English option.

Waitaminnit -- I just went there and clicked on "English" in the upper-
right-hand corner of the screen. Uh-oh. Bye bye, spare cash.

Regarding Amazon Japan, I would stick with HMV Japan or CD Japan. A lot of the Japanese-sourced titles don't seem to be translated when you browse the web site in English, so you'll end up seeing pretty much the same titles you would see at Amazon US. I would use very wide searches.
