Either they simply don't exist in Kindle format *anywhere* (e.g. A.S. Byatt's Possession, John Crowley's Little, Big, Timothy Findley's Not Wanted on the Voyage, Keith Roberts's Pavane), OR they are only available to residents of the U.S.A. (Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping) or the U.K. (virtually everything written by Val McDermid).
On the plus side, Amazon is making sure I have much more of my paycheque left at the end of the month :-)

There are ways around that. If you want to save cash I won't tell you how. (grins)
And trust me, it is not Amazons fault. They would love to sell you all the books that they have. It is contract law across verious countries and authors who sign with Publishers in one specific country so that their ebooks cannot be sold outside that country by that particular Publisher. It is a mess but there is nothing that the bookstores can do about it.
