Just visited Fictionwise and hit the geographic restriction issue on all 12 of the books I wanted to buy. To say I was pretty p##### off would be a mild understatement particularly as there appears to be no UK ebook retailer selling the titles I want in mobipocket format.

Wading through this thread it appears my main option is to change my billing country in Fictionwise to US then use micropay, is that correct? Unclear whether changing my address in Fictionwise then allows Paypal payment?

This seems to be a case of ebook suicide for the non-US/Canadian market just when interest is increasing.
