The stupidity of geo-restricted internet sales has been done to death here over the last couple of years here so I won't rehash it again.
It is pretty stupid that you can buy a paper book that is only for sale in a certain country from another country using the internet but you can't buy an electronic book.
But thats the dinosaur book industry for you.
Also what other industry would fix the prices that the retailer must sell them for. I still haven't worked out why this isn't illegal yet.
Anyway, rant mode off :-)
