It does, technically, but there are lots of retailers who sell it, a number of which are happy to ship internationally. The main issue with the Kindle is not buying it (you can always buy one from eBay, or whatever) but the fact that Amazon's Kindle bookstore (the main "attraction" of the Kindle) can only be used by people with a US credit card, and there are no easy "workarounds" for that as there are for the Sony. I wouldn't recommend anyone outside the US to buy a Kindle for that reason.
