I'm really sorry, but then I automatically went to my account and created an US address to get it.

I wouldn't be sorry.
It all has to do with the Publishing contracts and they way the break up territorial rights. When a Publisher buys the rights to sell the paper books in a place such as North America - they can ship the book to all the stores in North America and then when the stores make the sale - even if it is an internet sale that they ship to Australia - it is counted as a North American sale.
eBooks (digital sales) are counted as the residence of the buyer. So as a buyer/citizen of the United States, the Publisher who buys the right to sell the book in North America is the one who is supposed to sell it to me. So if Hatchette buys the rights to the UK and Penguin buys the rights to North America, but only Hatchette manages to actually put an eBook up for sale, then theoretically I'm not supposed to buy the eBook because Hatchette doesn't have the right to sell it to me. Penguin does. Even though they haven't made an eBook.
Even worse, sometimes nobody has bought the rights and they just sit there with the author, who may not think it is worth their time to publish in certain markets or has no idea how to accomplish it.
It's dumb. It's anti-buyer. It is one of those things that people will say left and right "Gosh, there has to be a better way" but nobody ever seems willing to fix.
