My own wee publishing house has the same problem with Kindle, Jan. About half our authors are US, but we're registered in the UK, so -- like all houses without an official US presence (tax and SS numbers, US bank accounts) -- the ebook versions of our books are unavailable even to those who wrote them. I guess we'll hit a similar snag now with B&N. The giant companies are destroying the very idea of books from anywhere just when you want them. They are to literature what padlocks are to public parks. Neil
