I agree with the MobiReference incident. But it would definitely keep the Ayn Rand debacle from happening again.
Maybe MobiRef could have multiple flags on their books, available for US, Aus, EU, etc.. Or better yet, since Amazon wants to go global, THEY need to have regional download options in place. It'll happen eventually, but right now, I don't see this going to end anytime soon.
I'm glad I don't have to deal with it.
