I have to disagree with jorlin. I too live in Europe (Switzerland) and buy very few books or DVDs here because they are so dear and I can usually get them at much better prices elsewhere. If I were restricted to buying locally, the result would be that I would buy far fewer books and when I did would play safe by buying things I am 100% sure I want. As it is, I buy cheaper books and am willing to try more authors I don't know or to give a second chance to someone who wrote a book I didn't like. If the book is relatively cheap, it doesn't feel like a failed investment if I discard it part-read.
