I notice that I'm not blocked out of the Kindle book information on the German site, though I live in France. I am blocked out of the Kindle information on the UK site (because they only sell to UK and Irish residents). If I were to buy a few titles from the German site, would that lock me out of the US site? (Just curious...)
This is so odd! The European Commission is complaining about everything and the world, and they even noticed that trans-border consumerism is barely existent (as compared to in-country online shopping), but the one thing they just don't take tackle is --- companies blocking or inhibiting European customers from buying in other EU member states (where there is no actual reason).

Did you ever notice how Amazon UK is shipping for free to the Netherlands, Luxemburg and Poland, but not to Germany or France?
