Tor/Macmillan seem to have a problem with making stuff consistently available.
I'm not just talking about regular geo-restrictions, but in certain cases even if the books are available in my area, I'm further restricted by which store I browse at, even though they should technically be available to all if they're available at all.
Certain of Robert J. Sawyer's books I can buy for Kindle in Canada, but the very same titles are marked unavailable via the Sony store (also in Canada) and don't show up at Kobo.
Another Jo Walton book I seem to be able to only get via Kobo in Canada (but it's ridiculously overpriced at $16.00 when the mass-market paperback has been out for years and the rest in the series are 6.49 or less). That very same title is not available in Canada for Kindle or from Sony.
I don't mind so much if Tor don't have the rights for my area and just plain can't offer the books, but they could at least make things available across the board when they do.
