What can I say? Lucky you. That still does not negate the fact that the entire population of the UK and Australia are not allowed to buy thousands of audiobook titles that are only available from the US site, unless they have access to some foreign-issued credit card - even if they come to the US in person. And to buy a Kindle book from an American store, they have to know about the "change location" loophole (which I didn't until yesterday) and be prepared to lie about their whereabouts. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of titles can be downloaded for free from the torrents, including the latest bestsellers. Must the publishing industry go through a bloodbath and shrink by a third, like the music industry has, before they realize it's not the 19th century any more?
