Buying UK Books From the US

bossfan2000 · 12-11-2009, 02:40 PM

Wasn't sure which forum I should pose this question..lemme know if this was the wrong one.

Does anyone have any tips for buying books from UK bookstores (I live in the US). I read mostly fantasy, and the UK site for booksonboard has quite a few books I would like to buy on their UK site (that aren't available in any US store..like the Malazan books. Would be nice to replace my 1200 page mmpb with a digital edition). Are there other UK ebook stores that any of you shop at from within the US?

Although geographical restrictions severely limit choices, I do know Pan Macmillan sell ebooks directly from their website without geo-restrictions or DRM. It may be that other UK publishers sell ebooks directly the same way.
