I can buy paper books from any of the amazon sites. I used to buy lots of import books from amazon.com ( in pre-kindle times). I've also bought blu ray from amazon.fr to get the Caprica box set that's not at amazon.uk
But I feel discriminated against again now.
They are happy to sell me tablets & e-ink devices ( for same price or higher than my USA counterpart), but they lock me out of this new service, for which I'd be willing to pay. I'm pretty sure that I also am NOT allowed to buy a plain kindle book from .com, even when .uk do not stock it.
I really don't get the business logic. It's not like it's a limited membership pilot service, you don't pilot with the whole of USA allowed in !
