There is probably an opportunity cost because you aren't releasing the games as soon as possible. You might consider entering into some sort of deal with somebody that is able to publish your game or make an US (or whatever country is allow

Apparently it's a US-only feature. I'm allowed to buy "loanable "ebooks from amazon.com but I can't actually lend them since I'm not from the US. Nice. Given that the lending feature is only ONE loan for the whole lifetime of the purchase,

Yeah, I'm just not from the US so I don't like to wait for the package to arrive, pay extra for the shipping, then have it clear customs, etc. Kindle provides instant gratification and all that :-)

Yes, forgot about Ireland. That's also a good pick but I'm not sure how long they are going to keep that low tax rate given the rumors of their economical instability. Last I looked their corporate tax rate was about 12%.
