Is there anyone from Europe who've had any experience with buying books from Shortcovers/Kobo, and what did you think?

I tried it out when shortcovers was launched, but I couldn't buy anything then and gave it up. Since then, Fictionwise have become completely impossible to buy anything of interest from, while Amazon, to my surprise, actually have had most of those books available that I've had interest in, so the question of geo restrictions seems 'muddy' and just because one shop can't/won't offer a wide variety, others may.
