I usually buy my eBooks from Mobipocket. In the last few weeks when I tried to order new release books I got the message that the books were deleted from my cart because of my domicile being Germany (Even so I live in Switzerland and all my data points to Switzerland).

Two books where this happened are
Orphan's Alliance
Galactic Corps

The same books can be bought from other online shops without a problem.
I never had a similar problem when ordering a paper book from amazon.

I can't imagine a reason for this new policy. I think there will be no distibutor for those books (in English) in Switzerland so I see no problem if I buy the eBook.

I hope the other online shops will not follow mobipockets example
