Ahh, but their website identifies where in the world you are connecting from, and you'll find that not all those books will be available to you if you're outside the US. If you try to buy them, a message will come up at the checkout to tell you they can't be sold to someone in your region.
It's called "geographic restrictions", and depends on the distribution deal Amazon has with the publisher who holds rights to those books in your country or your region of Europe.

Things aren't always what they're advertised as. Most of the covers that you'll find on the Internet being sold for the iRiver Story are actually for a Kindle 2, which is almost exactly the same dimensions. Someone's spotted that the Story also fits in them, and so is marketing them as iRiver Story cases (especially now that the Kindle 2 has been superseded and Amazon is no longer selling it -- they've got to get rid of that stock somehow!!), but you'll find the fit isn't quite right. And if it's a cover that has openings for the connection ports and the page turn buttons included in the design, you'll find they're in the wrong place for the Story, because the ports and buttons are in different places on the Kindle 2.
Buyer beware!
