I just bought three books with geographic restrictions. Two were from the in Death serier (J. D. Robb); no problem. The last one I cannot download; Madeline Hunter The Rules of Seduction. The undownloadable book is published by Random House, Inc./Dell. The in Death books are published by Penguin Group/Putnam Adult.

So is Random House the culprit or are the stricter restrictions caused by the ebook sourcing company (I guess we all remember the Overdrive debacle in the beginning of this year)? Is there any way we can check which server the ebooks are from? What publishers are the rest of you unable to download books from?

This is obviously the beginning of the end of my relationship with Fictionwise. I still have $140 in my Micropay account that I need to spend, but after that I will have to find another source for ebooks. Too bad, I've enjoyed being a Fictionwise customer.
