Lots of ways to slice and dice the list that are religion independent.
That said, the reality is that on a planet with 240+ governments and sets of laws, telecom systems, etc, its a miracle Amazon actually was able to launch in 100 countries.

I definitely agree that for whatever reason they did not, I have to take my hat off for the fact they actually did launch in more than 100 countries in one go. without any rumor!!
besides, it really doesn't effect me in any way that they are not available in those countries. As long as they have it Japan, Guam and Australia I am all set...now if only I hadn't bought my sony 600 3 weeks ago..
