I don't want to pirate the damn books (although this is looking like the only possible way I can obtain the damn things in this backwater of a country) I want to purchase and read them.
All help appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm in the same boat as I'm in New Zealand. Geographic restrictions are driving me crazy. The books I want to buy are not available at Smashwords. WH Smiths have a great selection - but UK only. I am willing to PAY MONEY but no one wants to take it! Does anyone know if kindle and amazon have similar geographic restrictions? Because if they don't I am seriously considering getting one and keeping my kobo for library books (which I CAN borrow irrespective of where I am, but the waiting lists are so long). Geographic isolation went out when the jet was invented, why do publishers insist in bringing it back in again!
