I mostly buy books in the US because the US vs. EUR rate makes them cheaper, and the choice is larger.

I wonder... if I were Kobo I would've blocked this whole migration thing ages ago. If Amazon can bar me from buying books at co.uk and force me to .com it shouldn't be too hard for Kobo to do something similar. An IP address carries information on what country it's in. Not that I mind that they don't fix this, I just wonder...
Maybe this should be in another thread.
