I am in Canada. At Kobo books I can buy The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

But on Amazon, while it is available in the US Kindle store, it is not available in Canadian store.

Geographic restrictions I could understand if I couldn't get it anywhere, but this seems off.

Similar, but not quite: with the Cirque du freak series, I can buy every book in the series at sony's canadian store. I used to be able to get books 1-3 (in a single book) from kobo.

At present, I can still buy them at sony bookstore, but Kobo does not sell any of the series anymore.

And I cannot get on the Canadian Kindle store.

Anyone know what gives?

Really wishing I bought the cirque du freak series with my micropay dollars when fictionwise still had it.
