I can see how frustrating it must be for non-US residents, but it may be understandable for Amazon, as they still don't have enough in stock for immediate shipping. Just maybe, they'll change their policy when they catch up on the manufacturing backlog. OTOH, Sony has plenty of Readers, but has the same shortsighted policy.
