I got the standard response:

At this time, we are unable to offer the Amazon Kindle and associated digital content from the Kindle Store to our international customers due to import/export laws and other restrictions. Whispernet, which allows you to take advantage of Kindle's wireless features, is currently available only in the United States.
which is, of course, entirely missing the point of my e-mail. I wasn't asking why I can't buy a Kindle - I'm well aware of the reasons for that, and I understand them. I was asking why they sent me an e-mail offering to sell me a Kindle when my e-mail address clearly identified me as living outside the US.
