As much as I hate them, geo-restrictions probably won't be going away soon. But same as with DRM, I am just glad it is so easy to circumvent and move on.

It really would make sense to at least allow sellers in one country to sell to other countries where nobody has a contract for that particular book in English.

And Suefue, instead of that trip to Canada, I suggest a trip to the Amazon website's "change country" selection button. I have bought books available in the UK only this way -- or significantly cheaper in the UK than in the US. My guess is that you shouldn't overdue this, though.
