I can't see anything to suggest that CommonReader buys from Amazon. He/she might do, but since their profile lists their e-reader as "Sony PRS-650, PRS-300", it seems unlikely.
I was having an irritated dig at commonreader for his criticisms of a store that is currently trying to do its best in a world increasingly dominated by Amazon, one where people use their bookstores as a reference point before buying from Amazon and then criticise stores for being lazy when they can no longer afford to meet his expectations and are legally required to implement geo-restrictions... also Amazon doesn't sell everything to every country, they have individual stores for many countries and, if you try to buy a geo-restricted title from the wrong site, your business will be refused "because it's not available in your country..."
