I continue to be amazed that publishers think it's necessary to add barriers for people that want to buy ebooks.
1) Do the customers want this? No
2) Do the customers need regional restrictions? No
3) Will it increase the administration and distribution costs? Yes
4) Is it possible to enforce regional restrictions on the world wide web? No
5) Do we really need regional restrictions for electronic books going forward? No
OK, so I won't let BoB sell my books anymore because they haven't pissed off their customers and increased their administrative costs in a futile attempt to apply regional criteria to purchases.
I would like to see them apply the same administrative burden to everyone that is selling their paperbacks at international airports. "I'm sorry sir I won't take your money."
