The Kindle will first need to be switched on in the continental United States after which it syncs with your Amazon account. You will then need to use a US bank issued credit card in order to download subscriptions onto the Kindle via USB. I have found that the Kindle is the cheapest way to subscribe to US or UK magazines without a minimum contract period- at less than 1/3 the price of the print editions.
