In regard to fictionwise or Books on Board, both take the country address from the credit card used and use this to determine if you can buy from the store. I reside in Australia with an Australian credit card, now should I be holidaying in America and decide I need a fix of new reading material, I log on to the net through some wireless connection, I am in America, using an American internet service, however due to having an Australian Credit card would not be able to make a purchase. How in gods name is this a sensible business model.
