I do also take issue with the fact that the ebook is only selling in us/can/uk !
I have as of now tried purchasing in like 10 stores and the message is the same "purchase not allowed for your region" (I live in brazil
), thats total crap, how would you like entering a store and the guy say he wont sell you because he doesnt like your face?
But hey, no matter, no matter, all is well, I just found (but nooo, I wont download, nooo sir, nooo) the p1r4t 'version' by torrent (real thing, not fake) , so, this is how much money theyll be making from me, the mighty sum of zero ($0.00) bucks
so seeya guys, have a nice read! **At least to all of those are worthy of buying the book!**

There's *really* such a place as *abroad*. And we don't all speak Chinese ... although China itself has more English speakers than the US. Time and time again, I'm angered by the US-only mentality on the net. I can't for instance download this particular book from the usual suspects because I dare to live outside the USA. I can't use Kindle, I can't buy from Sony, I now find that there's a whole bunch of other ebook retailers because I don't live in Pudunk, USA, It's a piece of nonsense! Like the US doesn't need Euros, pounds and Yen with the dollar in shreds. Bloody arrogance. Neil
