I thought I would easily be able to find some of those on various websites, but alas, I can't seem to be able to find *one* recent, commercial, book, from a "famous" author, in this format, available for this country.

I stumbled on tons of free books, tons of commercial books which I have never heard of, and tons of links to pirated commercial books, but I would just like to be able to go on some legal website, enter the name of a book I'm looking for, and to be able to buy and download it.

Please tell me I have not searched hard enough and that the ebook-selling website of my dreams exist.
There is a solution to your problem. It's a very simple solution. And it involves giving no money at all to Apple for any eBooks. Download the free Bluefire Reader app. It allows you to have eBooks in ePub using the standard adept DRM. Bluefire uses ADE so it works where ePub would with ADe on your computer.
