I agree with this comment 100%.

It's heartbreaking (when a newbie & wondering WTF??? huh???) to get to checkout ... thinking all the while that you at last have a book you've wanted to read for a-g-e-s ... only to find it's geographically restricted.

Knowing that all the books I can actually see while I'm browsing on kobobooks are available to me is way less frustrating.

Having said that, I long for the day when publishers will make more books to available to Aust/NZ.

I feel like the naughty girl at school - made to go sit in the corner and wait!
