The kicker is that English books are often cheaper in the .de store than the .com store, and vice versa, but you often have to know the exact title and search for it. The reason for it is that German books have fixed pricing if purchased by a customer in Germany, and, likewise, US publishers can set the price of their books in the US that does not necessarily apply to non US customers.

The flip side is that you will not have access to all US titles in the de store, but then again, if you read mostly in English, you would probably want to select a US address in your country settings.
Hmm, you guys are saying two different things here.

Will my account be tied to the German store if I buy it from Germany? Can I change the account it's tied to?

Edit: It doesn't seem to matter, from the German store it wouldn't be shipped until 5-7 weeks from now anyways. Hopefully I'll have it from the Swedish reseller by then. They've implied that.

Thanks, anyways, though.
