my non-professional understanding:

it's not just amazon. Book copyrights are broken up by nation--it's  
very fragmented. and the laws vary from place to place.

therefore, the amazon rights are tied to a given publisher, which will  
vary across the globe

when you talk about globalization problems, copyright law is a mess
