I wasn't aware that BooksOnBoard even checks the address - usually I have been able to buy from them when I couldn't at Fictionwise (before I learned I could just set a different address).
As an Australian buyer I've had problems with Fictionwise and BooksOnBoard this last fortnight - much to my annoyance. Neither of them identified at the outset the geographical limitations; both just wouldn't let my purchase go through and couldn't identify which book was the problem. Needless to say I abandoned both purchase of more than 6 books each! More fool them.
