This is why I almost exclusively buy from BN, because the books can be liberated.

My preference is for Waterstones, WHSmith, BooksonBoard, eBooks, Diesel-eBooks and Fictionwise but at this stage there are very few ebooks that I can purchase from them due to geographical restrictions so I have been discovering new-to-me authors at Samhain Publishing, Carina Press and All Romance eBooks.

I won't buy from Amazon as the selection that they offer to the Asia/Pacific region is pathetic. In addition to that I don't like the Kindle app or the fact that they can just delete my ebooks whenever they choose.

I don't buy from B&N because they do not sell eBooks to non-US customers and won't use them even if they do become available to non-US customers.
