Notice how many of those countries are repressive regimes.

I can understand those countries not wanting the Kindle available.  It is, to them, a nightmare of freedom.  Imagine not being able to control what their subjects/citizens read.  Why, they might even decide to read the Christian Bible and other books!

I can envision Christian books becoming like the samizdat of the old Soviet Union, passed from hand to hand (flash drive to flash drive?).

For those countries, technology is fast becoming their enemy.
