As I understand it, the problem is the copyright. Books which have a USA/Canada copyright cannot be sold outside those areas. Fictionwise and BoB are therefore, presumably, breaching the rules by selling to us in the UK (thank goodness!!!). The fact that they do this must be well known in the industry, so I can't understand why they're allowed to continue (perhaps we'd all better keep stum!).
Agree with everything said about Waterstones. I know it's early days for them but if they don't get their act together soon they'll have lost the whole potential market.
