You may want to take it up with his publisher(s), as all books authored by him on amazon have 'Knausgaard' as the spelling. I imagine if it was an issue to him (which is the only person I'd be worried about it offending) it would have been addressed before now?

Also kudos to amazon for handling the query 'Knausgård' solidly - this may be common place but its the first I've needed it. 'http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dap...

Edit: I would add that I'd like to know more about how cases like this would be handled automatically - account lookup would need to find both spellings depending on how it was entered? Are the extended characters allowed in usernames? I've seen forum confusion where accounts were spoofed by slightly off unicode letters, ex. 'Α' (Greek U+0391) and 'A' (Latin, U+0041).
