Now I got through my thick head what to do. I agree it is not a lie. We can ask our son who lives in Germany to buy for us.
However, if I do understand correctly, I could not do this on an eInk Kindle with what is, to me, an essential device application, the New York Times Latest News Blog, or on our Fire that has the Washington Post at what, I think, is less that the Germany price. Plus there might be a problem with Overdrive/Kindle format being US-only. So, instead I would have to use a spare, of which my wife and I have several awaiting the day when one of our Kindle Keyboards die. (EDITED: Or, I guess we just move the registration of the Kindle right back to the US after the purchase in Germany. Right? Or, simpler, and as noted in the post immediately above, ask our son to gift us the book.)
Also, and this is good, the first two books that came to mind as available in Europe, but not the US, and that I had on my mental to-read list due to being written by master historian Saul David, turn out to now be available in the U.S. -- and for 99 cents each:
After Dunkirk
Mutiny at Salerno, 1943: An Injustice Exposed
Since US libraries don't have those, I guess Bozos just sold two more eBooks. However, a third Saul David title I'd try --
Prince of Pleasure: The Prince of Wales and the Making of the Regency -- does have geo-restriction issues. The eBook is unavailable at amazon.com, is a highly reasonable £0.99 at amazon.co.uk, and is a, only by comparison, less highly reasonable EUR 3,99 at amazon.de. So I'll wait on that last one.
I guess it's another topic and totally the wrong thread, but what's the point of Brexit if there already are separate book markets in Europe? Or can my son in Germany freely use the British Amazon site? This probably has been answered to death in past threads, but I'm paying better attention now
