Also, the Sony Store is really only relevent to people in the USA; if you live in the UK and you own a Sony, you're far more likely to buy your books from Waterstones or W.H. Smiths.

I don't mean to be critical, but all too often surveys such as yours look only at the USA and ignore the vast majority of people who live elsewhere.
Harry,

To answer your questions. We are not currently taking regional restrictions into account. In all honesty I did not know this was such a big issue but now that I do I'll see how we might be able to add some functionality to help you out.

Thanks for the tip on the sony titles. We need to add more stores into our search -- right now we are just doing three : Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Sony.

Thanks for being critical. The goal of this site is to useful so we'll keep plugging away.

Ish
