Over here the Kindle was increasingly seen as the ONLY ebook reader out there and the 'best' option. It might be because the Sonys and other readers are a bit more effort to obtain.
Now it looks like the choice is becoming problematic for users. Many of them jumped at the chance to grab a Kindle and then used the 'I live in the US' workaround to get access to new titles. Just today users started reporting that they got the same e-mails from Amazon.
Another said that they have a notice to contact customer service before being able to purchase more titles:

My dad went nuts and bought like 10 books from his PC, at which point Amazon's website said that they see he is browsing internationally and have to contact customer services before he can continue purchasing. He didn't use a proxy. Does anybody know if the account is permanently locked, or will a proxy login 'fix' it? Any suggestions for a good proxy?

Guess there's gonna be a few more disgruntled Kindle owners soon...
