Buying Geo-restricted books from the US
I was trying to find "across the sea of suns" by Gregory Benford as an eBook for sale in the UK, but unfortunately its not available so I thought I'd try something .
I set up an account on Diesel eBooks with a fake US billing address but using my credit card which is registered to a UK address, and guess what BANG it worked . Only drawback is that my bank keeps calling me about "transactions" on my card lol. |

I wonder what the reasoning is for it not being available in the US. Do you know?
