Many of the books I DID buy there in the past had become US only, causing me to go shop at Kobo.

Another one bites the dust. BoB, and now Diesel. The non-Amazon stores where I can shop that are relevant, taking price into account, are wearing rather thin. Some, such as ebooks.com and Omnilit are noticably more expensive with many books, and others either don't accept orders from outside the UK/US, or are just Kobo front-ends.

Fortunately there's (still) DRM removal, and I have a TBR of over 800 books which should last me for about 15 years at least.

BoB said that too. The only thing you can do is log into your account. I think BoB, and Diesel, will both shut down permanently after the domain registration expires.
