So. I think it's morally questionable to "travel" to save money; an author (or his estate) is entitled to cut the best deal he legally can. But when books are unavailable in the US, I find I can square my conscience. Even as far as authors' rights go, I figure some money is better than none at all.

Kobo Canada sells the Davies novels and I've tossed my paperbacks. Make of that what you will.
I've never bothered to take the time to work around geo-restrictions (because I'm lazy), but I don't have any issue with it if the book is unavailable in your region. I've been tempted to do so for a couple of the books I mentioned up-thread that are available in the UK, but not here.

You could have resorted to piracy, but you didn't.
