I suspect Hiroshima doesn't have more votes because of US availability, it doesn't appear to be available from the Amazon US Kindle store at least.
Yes, that might be an issue in some minds, but there IS a free version from Kobo that is available in the US. And conversion is a non-issue. Though I admit, even though it's now on my Kindle, I'm going with the Ed Asner reading.
