I've had an odd thing happen to me a couple of times in the past month or so. I have my Kindle library on Amazon.com. I am Canadian, but I started off with my Kindle library on Amazon.com and I chose to leave it there and I have set my country setting on Amazon.com to Canada. I snowbird in the U.S. for winters and I change my country setting to reflect where I am physically.

When I view a Kindle book on Amazon.com when I am in Canada, I see at the top of the page the link to set my default Kindle store to Canada. In the last month or so, however, I am also seeing the option to set it to Amazon.cn, which is China. I've never been to China, I've never set my country settings to China. So I am baffled by this.

I order physical items from Amazon.ca when I am in Canada and I did order a marketplace item which ended up being shipped from China. However, I don't see what that has to do with my Amazon.com Kindle store.

I have been using links in e-mails from Book Gorilla and Book Bub to view Kindle books and for free Kindle books. I also clicked on a link in the Freebies section of this website, which brought up a url with the 'smile' word in it.

I deleted my Amazon.com cookies on my Windows laptop and all my Apple devices, logged back into my Amazon.com account, and the notice about Amazon.cn went away. I used a link in Book Gorilla and the Amazon.cn came back. I deleted the cookies again and I haven't clicked on a link from Book Gorilla since. I also didn't see the Amazon.cn notice anymore.

I have clicked on one of the links in this board which brought up the url with the word 'smile' in it. Now I have the Amazon.cn notice on Amazon.com kindle pages on 2 browsers on my laptop and the Safari browser on my iPad.

I am about to delete the Amazon.com cookies in both places again.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?
