Your brilliant I was wondering how to get around the country restrictions, what a great idea.
Country restrictions are so silly and also useless. Here's my example of how two faced they are.
I am reading the Kitty series by Carrie Vaughn the ebooks are country restricted (I live in Australia) so I can't buy the ebook, yet from amazon I can buy the paperback. wtf?
Anyway the excuse for country restrictions it that a different publisher has the rights in different regions. I could except this if I could actually buy it in Australia. I would just pop up to my local borders, etc. and buy it. The problem is that it isn't available in Australia, although borders will import for me. It's just so stupid! I hate it!
But now thanks to HarryT I have a way around it
