No, it isn't. You can't buy Kindle books
at all if you live outside the USA, let alone the Kindle itself. The Kindle store won't sell you books unless you have a credit card with a US billing address.
I very likely will buy a Kindle if and when it's launched in the UK, because it will read all my MobiPocket books (the format I've standardised on). In the mean time, though, although the Kindle does indeed do many nice things (eg annotation, Wiki access, etc) the Gen3 has some nice features that the Kindle doesn't (primarily the ability to load your own fonts and hundreds of different dictionaries to choose from) so I'm very happy with the Gen3.
