Seems a little simplistic based on quoting your own link:

"Warranty issues and manufacturer restrictions prevent us from shipping certain products to all geographical locations."

That's not Amazon saying we don't want your money, that's them explaining why in some cases they can't take it. I'd personally like a more in depth explanation on a per item basis, especially something as simple as an ereader cover...

Perhaps it comes down to certain locales enacting "consumer protection" laws that over reach? The locale or governments should not have undue oversight on product warranties. The manufacturer has to figure warranties into product cost, in areas where a longer warranty is mandated it's not unreasonable to assume a higher cost.

I think it may be better to let the consumer practice a "buyer beware" policy and judge whether the warranty offered is sufficient for their purposes. Further, for most products likely to require a warranty like tech, the buyer can purchase extended warranty or often get it based on using a credit card for purchases.
