So do I. But the US Account blocks purchases. "Location can't be verified", some such error. Originally it worked and then they disallowed a commercial USA address for any purchase of anything. Now I have a domestic one, but now the different error. Could it be they don't allow gift card only funded accounts and want a USA payment card?

Kobo travel to USA stopped working, but travelling between UK and Ireland works.

Yet Amazon will sell me ANY paper book from USA to Irish Address.


It's mad that it's literally easier to pirate some ebooks than buy them at all. But I won't succumb. I will buy & read something else.
