Sony doesn't sell books (officially) anywhere but the US and Canada. The books for the UK, Germany and elsewhere are sold by other retailers. Since Amazon's focus seems to be cornering the market on where you get your content I don't think they're as interested in device only sales.
A lot of it goes back to the fact that the publishing rights situation for most ebooks isn't global, but mostly follows along with who holds the print rights. Stupid? Maybe, but that's how things are right now and thats a publisher issue more than an Amazon issue.
As to importing one to the UK it shouldn't be a problem. Look for threads on buying a Kindle 2 from outside the US. Getting a DX should work through the same methods.
