Incidentally I found Excession available as ebook to Australia straight away in Amazon. In fact I found 32 books of his on Amazon. I'm still buying paperback for his space operas as they look nice on my shelves together. However, for his other books I'm reverting to ebook for remaining titles.

Could available in UK extend to Australia but not the US? I'm not sure of the regional limitations in this regard.

Because of Agency nonsense, the UK is under Geo restrictions. Thus, if you are not in the UK, you won't be able to buy eBooks from the UK.

3. The State of the Art
5. Excession
6. inversions

Those are the eBooks not available in the US. But they are available in the UK. The rest of the series is available in the US. But what good is even starting the series in eBook if you cannot get it all if you want? It's just going to be a problem when you come to #3. This is a major issue that's been in place since before agency garbage. Series in eBook being incomplete. And now we have yet another issue too. Even if a series is complete, it may not be complete in the same format. So you may have to buy different formats and be able to strip DRM and then convert. So if you don't strip & or convert, you are screwed. Not all series are like this. But a number of them are and that's a problem.
