Me too. I’m in Canada, and I registered in the US years ago, because neither the kindle or ebooks were available in Canada at the time. Amazon occasionally suggests that I switch to the Canadian site, but I stick with the US, due to their large selection.
I’ve noticed that my US purchase price drops when our Canadian dollar is poor, so I’m not disadvantaged by the exchange rate. They know I’m Canadian, and give me the benefit of whichever price is lowest. Pretty darn good of them. The only hiccup is that I (very) occasionally run into a book that isn’t available to me, as a Canadian.
