Cannot stop redirects in Opera Linux Lime

In Opera Windows, I can make a speed dial bookmark for audible.com. But if I make the *same speed dial bookmark in Linux, and click it, I'm redirected to audible.co.jp (probably because I live in Tokyo). I will never have an Audible account in Japan.
Why am I able to work around this very easily in Windows, but the exact same browser with the exact same settings cannot handle this in Linux?
I've checked the usual suspects on the Linux side: popups and redirects are not permitted. Yet the redirects apparently cannot be stopped.
It is conceivable that this is an Audible problem. That Audible detects location and forces the redirect. But why can I get around that in Windows, but not in Linux?

@yuki301 A number of sites seem to think that if your User agent mentions Linux then you're actually on some mobile device, so yes it could be the website. On the other hand, a user agent switcher might change that, if trying to get the site to fix their problem isn't working
