I have been searching for early two weeks without success and quite frankly resent your hasty, ill-informed criticism. Especially as it's not relevant to the subject of the post, which was the different way the two major players handled my request. Both HAVE the book I want, only one would sell it to me directly.

As davidfor already mentioned, don't blame geographic restrictions on sellers. There are plenty of books I cannot buy, not from Amazon, not from Kobo, not from any other ebook seller, simply. And that's not because I want one format or the other (which is the basis of that restrictive ecosystem in the definition as used generally on this forum) but because I live in the EU where a lot of publishers think English isn't read and thus nobody needs to publish those books there (and no, I cannot buy books from Amazon.co.uk either, even though GB is still in the EU). But to blame Kobo for that is a bit low.
