Well looks like another site I won't use anymore and Books on Board just lost a customer. A shame as it was my favourite.

Neal Stephenson - US: 18 books, UK: 3 books all considerably more expensive. And I am no longer allowed to shop in the US stores.

I realise it's not BoB's fault, but this side of the industry is absolutely ridiculous and I'm sick of it to the point where I'm close to sticking my Sony in the cupboard and forgetting about it. Digital distribution should make international availability and pricing easier to deal with rather than harder. It's almost as if they want ebooks to fail.

The frustrating thing is I have the first two books in a trilogy I'm reading. Now I am not longer able to buy the thisrd at Books On Board of Fictionwise and not available in digital format in the UK.
