While I knew that BooksOnBoard demanded a country of residence, it has not bothered me much. Untill today, that is. When trying to buy a book by Brent Weeks, I was told that I could not do so, untill I switched my country of residence

While I appreciate that BoB left us the option to switch the country of residence, I am very unhappy with the practice of prohibiting me to download/ purchase a book based on where I live ( surely this is driven by the publisher not BoB, but they nearly lost me as a customer anyway...)

cheers,
