How can you be so sure about that?

AnemicOak said the most likely reason for that:

b) the author or publisher pulled it from sale for some reason



OK, but that's the smaller problem, the bigger is that I can't even buy ebooks at all just because I don't have US address.

Or another example I did use that workaround because I wanted to try the Kindle Active Content. So it was not about the fact I didn't want to pay at all. But they didn't give me a chance to pay for it. As if I didn't deserve the contents that are only available for US customers just because I'm European. It's discriminative.
From the customers' point of view it doesn't matter at all why the ebook or the content is not available if they can see that others are allowed to buy stuff like that. And I very often encounter this problem.
You said something about copyright restrictions in your first post. I looked at the cover and reviews. Both screamed "did the author get the proper permissions for all images".

So are you saying that you can't buy any books from Amazon?

Perhaps they blocked you because of your work around. They can do that since it violates their EULA and terms and conditions.
