Both pricing and availability could be different in the two stores. The same issue could arise with non-US Kindles. If so, it really puts the device-specific e-book stores at a disadvantage relative to (say) MobiPocket format e-books.
The fact of having multiple stores doesn't necessarily restrict choice. For example, Amazon have both a UK and a US store (and many others, too), but (for most products, at least) anyone is free to buy products from any Amazon store that they wish.
