Actually, the Kindle app for iPhone can be obtained in Europe. But, like so much else about using the Kindle outside the States, you have to jump through a few hoops.
What you need to do is to go to iTunes, and select United States as your country (in the drop-down at the bottom of the screen when in the iTunes store). You must then set up a new account within iTunes. Use a different name from your usual account. You will need to give an American address, so find a State-side friend or colleague who is willing to let you use their address. You won't need to enter any credit card details.
Now go back to the iTunes Store and search for the Kindle app, which should be visible. Go ahead and "purchase" it. Don't worry. It's free, so you still won't need a credit card.
Now reset iTunes to your normally country. Connect your iPhone and sync it in the usual way.
The Kindle app will now appear on the iPod Home page. Open it. It will prompt you to register with Amazon. Do that, using the same Amazon ID and password to which your Kindle is registered.
You should now be able to access your Kindle books, download samples, and purchase new books, all from the iPhone (assuming, of course, you have a Kindle account). When downloading samples, the name of your iPhone will appear in the drop-down menu in the page from which you purchase the book.
I've been using the Kindle app on my iPhone Touch for the last two months without any difficulty.
