Then, there is the problem of language, books available only in us / uk. Because i'm french, it don't mean I won't read book in english. And i'll have to order them from either UK or US.
Yeah, but no one has a problem with my ordering the hardcover from Amazon.co.uk. So why should an ebook be any different?

Reading the issues people are having a Fictionwise makes me think twice about a simple change of location would work. If they're getting information from your IP address, I probably wouldn't be able to download an ebook after purchasing it because even if I claim to be in the UK, my IP address is clearly in the US. Does anyone know if there's a proxy that would indicate I'm in the UK?
