I couldn't agree more : imagine that I, a french citizen, with a french credit card, happen to wander in the Big Apple, NY, USA... I enter a bookstore, and purchase an american edition of a book, printed in the USA, and published by a publisher who has secured the publication rights for the USA.

Would I be allowed such a purchase ? I guess that I would, although maybe I should give proper consideration to taxes...

What's the difference between this scenario and when I try buying a (e)book at Fictionwise ?

It could be interesting to explain this to the publishers, wouldn't it...
