The CC problem is definitely not because of geographical restrictions. I've bought from them before and there is actually an option for "foreign credit cards". Not sure why it doesn't work for you though, HelenaJole.
Regarding the question marks in korean programs, there is an easy fix for that. Go into the control panel --> regional and language options --> 'advanced' tab and set the option for non-unicode applications to korean. That's assuming you use WinXP. Vista and Win7 should have the same option though.
Yes24, Kyobo and several other korean bookstores use 한국이퍼브 DRM for their epub files (which no ereader device outside Korea supports). Not sure about PDF files, but if you want to read books on an ebook reader PDF is never a good option in my opinion.
But there is at least one alternative apart from getting a korean ebook reader. book2.co.kr sells epub files with Adobe DRM and embedded fonts, so it should work fine with most devices. Stripping the DRM and converting to mobi should even make those books usable with a Kindle.
