Some regions experience it more than others but the problem is that when doing searches if something isn't available for your region it just doesn't show up normally (which is why few people experience it). It only happens when you follow a direct link to the specific book page.

See my post above. I had to create a new US account, log in AND change my IP, all to be able to view a title. I experimented, and logging in or changing the IP on their own did not solve the issue. Only logging in AND changing IP worked.
As you said, a direct link to a specific book page gets me the "Not available in your country". Searches for both the author, the title, or the ISBN, result in the book never showing up at all, as if it doesn't exist.
I have never, ever experienced this issue of unavailable content until this week. Being located in Hong Kong, using my Hong Kong address and credit card, the opposite was always true, in that I seemed to have access to all content from all countries. Something has changed.
