I would be very annoyed by that as well. You want to be able to read them as they were written.
It's funny how the rules differ, depending on where you live. At the Canadian portal, I was able to select either the American or the UK versions. I guess because we use many but not all the English spellings - my kindle has two dictionaries as well - English & American- though oddly, not French.
I don't understand the geo-restrictions regarding music. I may and do order CDs from the US Amazon, but I cannot download the same music, even when it's a Canadian artist, or Canadian label. Go figure.
