I still don't see the harm in adding the links to the post. And where was it said that an ebook had to be available
everywhere? The only suggestion that seemed to come even close to that was Jon's saying:

But I do think it would be good to list the countries a nomination is available in so we won't be having the Black Rain dilemma. People then won't have to go scrambling to try to find a copy as they can vote based on interest and availability.
I'm of the mind that if an eBook is not available in at least Canada, UK & USA that it not be allowed.

I think most of us would agree that that finding a book available everywhere would be pretty impossible.
As to Jon's suggestion, I said that I liked it. If, however, having a rule about books being available in ebook format in those three regions completely diminishes the nomination process, then I will withdraw my support of that suggestion.
But I think the links to should stay.
