I'm surprised that no one asked (on Sept. 15) about the ban on shipping outside the U.S.

I can imagine tailoring a book product for U.S. tastes and conventions, but the only reason I can imagine enforcing it is regional DRM - in other words, just like DVD, having release dates of books that are different in different regions.
