RANT WARNING! As usual, decent deals are US-only. Otherwise the ebook price is ridiculous .... in some cases THREE TIMES hardback cover price. Also, of course, the release date of Sept 15 is US time -- not for the rest of the world; we get it tonight or tomorrow, if we're lucky. When will folks realise that not everyone lives in America? There's *really* such a place as *abroad*. And we don't all speak Chinese ... although China itself has more English speakers than the US. Time and time again, I'm angered by the US-only mentality on the net. I can't for instance download this particular book from the usual suspects because I dare to live outside the USA. I can't use Kindle, I can't buy from Sony, I now find that there's a whole bunch of other ebook retailers because I don't live in Pudunk, USA, It's a piece of nonsense! Like the US doesn't need Euros, pounds and Yen with the dollar in shreds. Bloody arrogance. Neil
