Thank you. This is definitely food for thought. I really don't like the thought of doing it by stealth, but by the same token at least the author does get their money - more than s/he would when I can't buy it at all.
Hmm. When you say 'create a new account', you mean an entirely new account with a different username etc.? Wouldn't it need to be connected to the Kindle that the books are downloaded to? Or are you suggesting another step that dares not speak its name?
(Incidentally, I've never used a VPN blocker program before. Purely as an academic question, is there one you'd particularly recommend?)
