Sometimes these companies baffle me, it's like they don't want to make money.

My sentiments exactly! This isn't some little Micky Mouse, back-of-the-woods Mom&Pop store here. Why, oh WHY did they have to do it this way?
As a lover of beautiful coffee table books, an avid reader, student, cook (who loves gorgeous recipe books) AND an ex-pat( who can't easily buy books locally); I have spent vast sums of money at Amazon.com (and have shelves and shelves of books from Amazon). However for the last 5 months I have not bought a SINGLE book from Amazon. Once I realized, that it was not just a delay, but that that they had no intention of opening their ebook store to their loyal international customers.... well....
Anyway they are not the only kid on the block.
