Yeah but remember all vendors *used* to ship to the US.
Before the shift to near-cost pricing by "you know who" and Amazon matching them.

Before that some of us could buy pretty much everything from anywhere.
(Bookeen, Pocketbook, assorted Hanlins...)
Right now it is harder though not totally impossible.

It's not that they don't want our money, just that there aren't enough likely buyers, to make it worth their time.

Edit: about that Bookeen, what makes it unique is why I'd never get it.
I'm hard on covers so I prefer to go cheap.
