So for some bizarre reason I'll have to buy those from someone else if I want to use my cybook.

So I pop along to mobipocket who I've also bought a bunch of books from, and see they they do have books 2 & 3 in mobi pocket format - Success ! Or maybe not. When I order them I find I've now got book 3, but book 2 isn't allowed to be sold to the UK.

So I'm allowed to have books 1, 3, 4 if I shop around, but apparantly book 2 is considered too special to allowed in mobi format for us peasants over here.

Sigh.
I would never buy book 1 before I made sure I can buy the rest of the series.
