Just want to add that, as a foreigner living in China and not speaking the language, I understand why some pages default to Chinese when they are viewed in China but it drives me nuts when they force you to use the local page only. They seem to forget that not every person lives in their country of birth. Google is very bad for this. It can be almost impossible sometimes to get it to stay on an English page. I imagine something like that is going on with the Kindle store.
When I use my Nexus 7 Android tablet, it forces me to the Chinese Android App store. I have to use my VPN to get it to look at an English store. Very frustrating.
Apple does it right. Whatever store you login to in the settings is the store you go to regardless where you are. As well, on their webpage, there is a nice link to every other language page you would want, with pictures of the flags. Google will have a list of languages you can change do but it is useless when it is all written in Chinese characters. I have to choose one at random and then hope it is a western style language so I can figure out which option is for English. Ridiculous system.
