I agree, I also think that Amazon with the Kindle and its locked DRM is going to have problems with the Marketing Control Act in some European countries. And this might be the reason for only launching it in the US.
The Norwegian Consumer Councils complaint against iTunes Music Store(I think this might apply to the Kindle/Amazon too):

As far as I know the Swedish Consumer Council has also lodged a complaint against iTunes.
