In the Kindle forum at Amazon (and the Kindle forum here at Mobileread) there are a lot of postings about the fact that since last weekend a lot of people with a Kindle outside the USA cannot buy books anymore, using the known workarounds. They get a warning about geographical restrictions.
It looks like Amazon has made the geographical restrictions much more difficult to circumvent, because of the international introduction of the Kindle.
I still can purchase as usual, have done it 20 minutes ago.
UPDATE:I have to confirm, I can't purchase anymore...
