Possibly not for the ebook version. If I follow that link (in the UK), 
Amazon informs me that my ereader is registered to amazon.co.uk, and 
offers to redirect me to the local site, which might not make the book 
available (though for this book, the UK site does it).

This stumped me in an attempt to "buy as a gift" for someone with an 
ereader registered in the US! Neither the UK nor the US site would let 
me... or perhaps the process was too obscure for anyone over the age of 
ten.

Sadly, DRM has reached the point where it is easier to buy and ship paper 
and physical goods globally than electronic information.
