I would wager that the bulk of Kindle sales is in the US.
But I do agree with your point. Kobo is a Canadian company owned by a Japanese company. Then there's all the smaller e-reader manufacturers that aren't US based and don't sell here.
If e-readers were banned in the US, it would be bad news for Amazon, but the devices would continue on without much change, I think.
