I just tried that, it also shows the book as available from Amazon Kindle (as well as Amazon AU Kindle, Kobo and Google). But apparently the book is not visible from Amazon if you're looking from a U.S.A. location.

It seems a lot to ask someone to check multiple countries and formats.
I suspect there may be little choice but to have people report back if a book is not available. It would be nice to get back the spent nomination to use elsewhere rather than have it wasted on a book others can't read.
