I appreciate that, ProfCrash. But it still puzzles me, even if it's in a childish, why-can't-I-have-my-candy sort of way. I know that the Canadian population is a tenth of the U.S.A., but per capita we are insatiable book readers, so I think Amazon is losing far more sales than it realizes. And I just hate that as bibliophiles we are left flailing between the Scylla of not owning the books we love, and the Charybdis of acquiring them in a less than legal manner.
