I checked the US Amazon site, and it's not available here.
WikiLeaks Cables Available From Amazon As Kindle eBook (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/09/wikileaks-cables-for-sale_n_794290.html)
Judging from reviews--it received 33 1-star rankings out of 42 reviews--Amazon users are opposed to the ebook and accuse Amazon, which banned WikiLeaks from its servers yet now stands to profit from the sale of the cables, of hypocrisy.
[...]
As the AP notes, the book does not contain the full text of the cables, but excerpts of the documents, together with analysis and commentary. The AP explains the ebook "consists of excerpts along with reports on reaction to the releases from media and government officials. It also has a list of the cables by originating embassy."
