Took me a while to convince whoever responded to my e-mails at their helpdesk that *yes* the author did intend for the book to be for sale to people in all countries, and the problem was at their end.

Anyway, it still took them 1.5 weeks to fix (and oddly enough, the next day when I looked it up, out of plain curiosity, I got the same message *again*, and now it's fixed again... *rolls eyes*).
Yeah, experienced this too. I don't think all the eBooks were fixed, only those from which the publisher filed a complaint (we did, Amazon fixed it).
