I was in the process of ordering Dan Browns Lost Key only to discover that the eBook versions are only sold to people from Canada and US
What the f&*^%k is happening - they introduce DRM and now publishers want to go back in time and ignore the globalisation of sales via the Internet; I can order the HardBack copy although I live in Europe; why oh why can't I order this eBook from Europe too?

I'll get the illegal copy from Usenet: no hassle with formats, DRM and regional restrictions. Fed up with the publishers - I'll check the status of customer-attitude by publishers in another 2 years.
