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 !

It's just more geographical restrictions garbage. It's about which countries Amazon is licensed to sell the books in. It has started with the US and one would presume negotiation are taking place for other countries.
As far as the actual workings, it appears that you can have up to ten books at one time on this program which will appear in your Amazon Library. You download them just like other purchased books, following a link if the book is available on the program. Presumably you return the book when you are finished reading clearing space amongst your ten.
