I've come across a weird thing where some links to ebooks using amazon.com are (for me) redirecting to my country-specific amazon site, amazon.co.uk.
But only when they also include the MobileRead origin tag!
I have disabled the links here, so please copy/paste the links below into a browser and report your results. The books are a UK-only book, a USA-only book, and a book available in both UK and USA. The first three are with the MobileRead tag, the next three are the same books without it.

My results are:
- Redirects to amazon.co.uk, book not found
- Redirects to amazon.co.uk, book found
- Redirects to amazon.co.uk, book found
- No redirect, book found at amazon.com
- No redirect, book not found at amazon.com
- No redirect, book found at amazon.com
I'm interested to find results for people in UK, USA and other countries with and without their own country-specific kindle store.
