You can only buy ebooks from Amazon if you have a Kindle or an iPhone (with the Kindle app).

All the US ebook stores are nominally only selling geo-restricted ebooks to US buyers. Some stores, notably Sony and Amazon, only sell to US customers (and Canadians in the case of Sony). There is usually (always?) a work around that allows access from outside the US. The UK ebooks stores are not restricting sales, but have far fewer titles at present.
