Buying and releasing kindle books from amazon.co.jp

1) Get a VPN or find a someone in Japan willing to give you SSH access to their Unix box.
without a japan ip you will have a 5 book limit and also if you purchase a book some will lock you out untill you use a japan VPN.

2) Get a Tenso address and phone number

3) Register on Amazon.co.jp
a. Make sure your 1 click settings are correct, you use Tenso information.

4) You can pay with a credit card from any location.

5) Set up kindle for PC and use it for the books you buy from amazon.co.jp.

6) Now convert them to .pdf document with calibre:

7) upload and release the goodness for all of us :)
Hi denkikoiji & fellows, amazon japan now use a new system called Amazon Services International for kindle books overseas sales, they have some limitations of purchase quantity and purchase conditions but like they say, if the limitation is not specifically mentioned there, will not be a quantity limitation to purchase, and I dont see any limitation with kindle books.

But if the limitation for the international buyers really exist, and you dont know anybody in japan or dont have a tenso address, use this fake japanese address:

Mikami Bldg. 1-18-10 Wakabayashi, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan 154-0023

works for me before! :).

And of course, dont use it for your purchases of physical goods.
