I've seen that for ages. I assumed it was something clever MR was doing.
I'm in Ireland, but have to use Amazon UK for Kindle. I'd save money on transactions of they allowed a basket/trolly. I'd have thought Amazon would queue them and do them in bulk, but it seems not.
Long ago I had one Kindle on the USA store, but they changed how it worked and only offered the UK available titles at US$ conversion of UK£ price. I can still occasionally buy paper books from USA, but sometimes they block that.
We do now have an Amazon Ireland, which seems mostly populated with Amazon Germany content, but has the "free" shipping on some items at €25 rather than the £35 now of UK to here. However often the same item was cheaper on German Amazon (which does English), even with the postage to Ireland, than UK price with "free" shipping, so before the Irish Amazon launched this year I often bought from Germany.
There is no Irish Kindle and due to stupidity of Publishers I hope it stays on UK. The Kobo Irish store sometimes is cheaper than Kobo UK, but mostly dearer (due to currency hedging of UK publishers and rounding up to 1c less than next highest euro). Also The Irish kobo store has missing titles compared to UK.
