There's some overlap between each country's lists, but the overall selection seems to differ (and the US has an extra Religious/Spirituality category which the other countries don't), and when I tried one of the UK lists in my Canadian account, a number of the books were available and seem to be at a reasonably low price, even if perhaps not as low as the UK sale amount.
If anyone else wants to add the links for any of the other regions, it'll be interesting to see if it expands the pool of available potential discount purchases.
Also worth noting is that when going through category lists, you often don't see the entire list. Only a select few from the total, of say, romance, appear in the romance list. You have to go through the master list and page through the various pages to see all the books on sale. I noticed this with a couple of the sales by browsing the master list. Some of that may be due to the fact that if a book is: Mystery, Romance, it only gets categorized in one--it will not show up in both.

It's tedious going through rather long lists, but it's the only way to see all the books that I know of.
