Well, you can buy a Kindle if you're keen enough. Get an American friend to buy one for you. Buy from from eBay. There are always ways. A heck of a lot of people here (myself included) had a Sony Reader in the days when it was only officially available in the US.
Why isn't it "officially" sold world-wide? That's a different question to which there are many answers, such as the expense of providing world-wide support. Those of us who bought the Sony Reader in its "US-only" days knew that we were effectively buying it without a warranty.
