Thanks all for answers. Fixed the Waterstones problem now by creating another account there so will be able to buy from there again.
Tried WH Smith, but apparently that title wasn't available outside UK. Good to know they they do sell to other countries though, so might have to keep an eye on them.
Kobo I tried too, though Inkmesh, but went straight to "This content is not available internationally." -page so didn't pay any mind to them. Will have to put that one to bookmarks too..
Bought one title from Baen, but never finished it.. I do want to support authors who put their work out without DRM, the site just seemed bit messy and didn't really see any user reviews and such, so hard to figure out what's good.
What comes to libraries, I inquired about ebooks from our library a while back and they said they have been looking into it for some time and are most interested in getting those, but there's been some problems. They will know better this fall. Meanwhile that Free Library of Philadelphia might be worth checking out!
It's a shame though one can't donate ebooks to libraries, as I've often done with regular books. Or is there some way to transfer the ownership?
Thanks again
Petri Aho
