As far as i know eBook in amazon made available worldwide and once your purchased it and its should be yours!. Interestingly, Amazon also make it possible for all reader to have access for free using their free app!

This is more a matter of having the rights to sell a book in a geographical area. There are books for sale on amazon.co.uk that are not available on amazon.com or amazon.ca. I can buy them by playing games with my location but that does violate Amazon's terms so I don't have much to complain about if they catch me and remove those books from my devices. I do have an account with amazon.com and I can use it to purchase many items if they ship to my area. When it comes to ebooks? See the attached image. Back when I could purchase ebooks from amazon.com since amazon.ca did not offer them, I purchased some ebooks. All but one of them were transferred to my amazon.ca account. The one that wasn't was due to the publisher of the book in the USA not being the same as the publisher in Canada. I was given a credit for the book which was a bit silly since short of buying a gift card from amazon.com for myself, there's no good way to transfer funds.
