As I explained earlier, Amazon has to model a tourist visiting UK and buying a book there. All you have to do is change your location. You can do it back and forth. This is a gift by Amazon to the people of the world, so they could buy whatever they want -- except you have to declare you're at a different place. Amazon only profits from it, and there's no real way to check this, except using 3G for geolocation, which you must authorize if it even were ever attempted.
