Bruce, I suspect it has to do with the distribution agreements  
negotiated by Amazon.

A bit analogous to the satellite TV issue where for example Sky cannot  
be officially sold outside the UK and Ireland even though physically  
the satellite signal is received in most of Western Europe, and there  
are plenty of Brits who have Sky here in Spain--but always based on an  
address in the UK and a UK-issued credit card or bank account.
