I have Prime, but not for the reason you are looking at. The benefits that Prime allows for Kindle users need to be activated on the Kindle itself, and hence a vpn can't be used. Which is not very good.

Then good on you. It's just that I won't risk USD79 just to use it for your purposes. I use it to get free 2-day shipping of physical products in the US.

Yes. The vpn comes in when I use my iphone or kindle fire to access the instant video.

If u are using pc or Mac, there is a work around to access instant video without the need of vpn. U need a chrome browser and plug in.

I am a newbie to ebook buying. So, I need to ask a question.
What is vpn?

When you surf the Internet, your footsteps are known to the website you visit. These footsteps (IP Numbers) identify your current location. Click http://whatismyipaddress.com/ to find out your current location.

A VPN changes these footsteps so that you appear to be situated in another location (the US, for example), hence allowing you to buy things as if you're at that location.
