I learned this from a recent comment on http://www.melvinneo.com/do-life/self-help-book:

"Read in the Kindle forums that Amazon CS said it was a “technical glitch” that has been fixed. I just disconnected the VPN service and tried to purchase a Kindle book. It works now, just like pre-Friday. No more “restricted geography” message. Cheers."
I tried to purchase today both free and paid books, and I am still getting the geographical note. VPN and Hidemy*ss proxies were *not* successful.
BTW, I'm from Brazil.
