Sends WH Smiths an e-mail to tell them they're losing a customers and why. Might do noting, buy who tries noting gets noting. (And if enough peaple in yours case act the same, might show some result.)

Looks like I might be using gift vouchers and getting a new account that doesn't identify me as being from the US from now on.

I would get the book from somewhere else. Even if that means getting paper instead.
