Currently, Amazon does not offer any digital media, except ebooks, outside of the US. That field is exclusively left to Apple iTunes and regional players. So -- no games for Kindle, no Android apps for smartphones, no movies or TV shows for laptops and tablets. Nada.

They even block blogs to most markets and don't offer a lot of magazines to Kindle buyers outside of the US even when those magazines are widely sold in local markets (the New Yorker, for example, is not sold to Canadians for Kindle).
Sorry to hear about the situation in Canada, but Amazon does offer digital media other than ebooks outside of the US.

In the UK, Amazon has an excellent digital music store, and offers digital downloads of movie and TV shows through its subsidiary Lovefilm, both as part of the DVD rental subscription and as pay on demand.

We also have a good range of Kindle magazine subscriptions.
