As Brian was saying above, this really isn't Amazon's fault. They are contractually obligated to prevent book sales out of a given geographic area. This is all in the workings of contracts that are more or less antiquated concepts from the big six publishers. But they really can't fix it easily, as the contracts they wrote with the authors, often decades ago, restrict foreign rights. This was to protect the author in the old days from other people getting their books without paying a royalty. There was no concept of the modern ebook age at that point, especially if you fly overseas often as I used to do, a real pain.
As a side note: all my books are DRM free and readable anywhere on anything, some are free on my website as well...
