I was able to buy Still Life from the iBooks Store for $11.99 - in Canada! I actually have a copy from the library but it's due tomorrow. I really didn't think the transaction would go through, but Apple seem to have missed the geographic restrictions. Borders let me click on "Buy Now" but changed its mind at the last minute when it verified my address on my account. So I'll have to read it on my iPad. (Kobo and Amazon/Kindle both noted it was unavailable in my area from the start, and they were both less than $8.00 according to Inkmesh)
The library book is decrepit and falling apart, and has 103 holds for the 11 copies in the library so I can't renew it.
