Better still would be the ability to select user country / language rather than have that decision taken for me. I am in Portugal and would like to be able to select my Amazon locale to be either the UK or USA and not my local Amazon site which is in France.

EDIT: Just change .com to .co.uk and you'll get the same page on Amazon UK. Sadly the exchange rate seems to be $1 = £1 - at least for the few books I checked.

This works for other locales as well, like Amazon.ca. However it will not work for Kindle ebooks.
