The "Other Languages" section shows this:

Galician (288)

In other words, many of the languages even listed have a handful to a dozen books, and this is a very short list as such, meaning that Amazon doesn't have a single Kindle book in the majority of languages spoken around the world (not even the majority of European languages).

Some of the large languages (those with an Amazon Kindle store of their own) do seem to have a reasonable representation, at least as far as numbers go, but without knowing those countries' book markets, I can't even begin to guess how well Amazon is actually doing compared to local epub bookshops.
