I don't think this argument holds much weight. I just did a series of quick searches on amazon.co.uk. Every single one of the books that Tor has released as free downloads are available for sale in the UK from Tor. I read alot of speculative fiction, and I read a lot of reviews about books -- many from international websites like sfcrowsnest.com. They do book reviews for American books, such as Old Man's War.

And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread or anything.
