How can Random House UK keep any ePub version of _The Leopard_ by Di Lampedusa from being sold in the USA? The ePub version can be purchased in just about any other country in the world, including Canada, Afganistan, Antarctica(country?),..., and Zimbabwe, just to name a few.
I think di Lampedusa died in 1957 or so, right? That means the leopard is still copyrighted and the one holding the rights has the regional distribution rights, as well. You better buy a paper version wherever you want. Those are not restricted.
