Fictionwise has 'Geographical Restrictions' on books. There are still plenty you can buy, but...
They say less than 10% of their books are affected - however it tends to be the 10% that they're currently adding within the last year; so new, bestselling books are restricted from being bought if you're in the UK - there's a little note saying 'Geographic Restrictions' at the bottom of the book description. I've done a quick check, and out of the 'top 10 bestselling books of the last 6 months' only 1 is available in the UK - and it's in the Romance\Erotica category. (So, we can't buy Dan Brown, but we can read softporn - nice! Although to be honest, softporn may be more fun than his latest book, but I digress...)
Of course, there may still be many books on Fictionwise that you'll buy, but I'm using my ereading device to replace books I'm buying FROM NOW, not books that came out years ago, so for me, Fictionwise is not an option.
