Forgetting all of the territorial rights and stuff for a second and lets assume they will stand.

I am personally very unhappy that I am not allowed to buy a book(Paper) from amazon.com and have it shipped to me in the UK!

Oh wait I am...

But I cant buy an Ebook and have it NOT shipped to me.

In fact a few years ago I ordered some books from the US via Waterstones(Uk book store) and that wasnt an issue it seems.

If I didnt know how to buy books from the US via Proxies and gift certificates etc then I would be very annoyed!

How in any sane rational world can it be easier and more 'legal' to go online buy a paperbook from the US and have it delivered than it is to order the same book as an Ebook.
