Why does everyone keep banging on about difficulties with publishers when Amazon/Mobipocket has been selling ebooks to the UK for years? Not even British publishers are stupid enough to think that they can keep ebooks out of the UK.
Fiasco in the USA? Do you mean Kindle or Sony or both?

Problems with Publishers and copyright laws: I see no other reason why Sony and Kindle were launched in the USA only.
