And why would you need to "authorise" geolocation? No such requirement exists. Indeed, it's perfectly arguable that you don't even need to mention it in the end-user agreement. More, geolocation would again be utterly pointless since the US-only Kindle cannot, again, access wireless services outside the USA!
Now, if you were talking about the international Kindle, then there is a serious disconnect there between the statements made by Amazon and what you're describing... (They've clearly stated there's a "base country" set...)

Dawn with the international Kindle, a customer can change country locations as often as he/she desires and purchase books. I have already purchased, and downloaded books from the Australian and US storefronts. Changing between countries is a trivial matter.
