I, for one, find this whole story very worrisome. I live in France but read in English, and getting my books has always been a hassle and an expensive endeavour. For the first time in my life, I can purchase books from the US, at a much nicer price than getting them ordered from amazon.uk (pretty much the only other alternative). I hope I'm not going to have to take a step backward. I already have to purchase some ebooks from UK stores just because of availability, and I feel everytime I spend 9£ instead of 7$...
