I don't think that Amazon discriminates. I think that Amazon, and other companies, struggle to get the necessary contracts signed to provide the same services overseas as they do in the US. They focus in the US first due to the size of the market and the fact that they have to sign one contract to provide services to 50 states. From what I have seen, Amazon has to sign separate contracts with each country in Europe due to different laws. That is going to take time and is far more challenging.
I am sure that Amazon would love to provide the same packages to folks in Europe, and Asia and Africa and South America, as they do in the US. It would help them make more money and increase their market share.
At least Amazon has made an effort to service other countries. Barnes and Noble is just getting the Nook to the UK and I don't know if that includes the Nook tablet.
