Haha, too funny! :-) I actually DID create an Amazon UK account several years ago to purchase a different series of books that once again weren't available here. Ironically, the person who told me to do it was the Amazon.com rep that I was on the phone with at the time!! LOL :-) He said 'wait, try putting in this zip code' and gave me what I guess was a London zip code. I was able to buy like 3 of the books, but then it blocked me because I had to use a credit card, which was obviously a US card.
I think I would run into that problem again - - there's no way to pay with PayPal or anything besides a credit card with the Amazon.com or Amazon UK sites, is there?
I just find it SO ridiculous that someone in the US has to jump through such hoops just to totally overpay for books - - especially in the case of titles that are 20-plus years old! It's just silly. I wish I wasn't forced to use an ereader all the time - - bc I'm sure I could find the Rowan books for a couple bucks at the local used bookstore. :-\ However, I DO love my tablet to death - - it's just so darn convenient, not to mention not taking up the vast amount of space that 'real' books would - - I read SOOOOO much that I would literally be buried!! haha :-)
