Amazon.com, just like everyone else outside the handful of countries with their own Amazon sites and Kindle stores.

Yapyap I should've also asked you whether the ebook is also free for you, and if you can lend it.
It's free; the info says "Lending: Enabled" but I cannot actually lend it, no, not when I'm signed in with my actual address. As I actually "bought" the free book (as an Estonian), I also checked "as an American" (I've had to change locations sometimes to buy geo-restricted books) and I could lend it, if I wanted to, when signed in with a US address. (That would then be subject to the "lend this book only once, ever, to one person of your choosing" rules that Amazon has for lending.)

Of course as long as the book is free, lending doesn't seem relevant, but non-public-domain books rarely remain free forever.

(Also, as far as I know, US customers [i.e. customers signed in with a US address] can lend lendable books to friends in other countries. I'm not sure, however, if that applies to geo-restricted books as well - I'm fairly sure that Amazon doesn't allow one to gift a Kindle book to someone in a country where the person isn't allowed to buy it, so I assume the same goes for lending.)
