Hi lente and welcome to Mobileread.
I am increasingly finding the same problems as you.
As an British ex-pat living in Spain, not only can I not buy ebooks from the USA but nor can I buy ebooks from my home country, apart from odd items.
Why geographic restrictions to a country that does not speak the language the ebook is published in?
I can understand the restrictions USA/UK, but surely in the main it is only the expatriate English speakers or servicemen who are going to want to download English language ebooks outside their home country.
Pbooks tend not to be an option when you factor in the time and postal charges. So I buy second hand - no profit to the publisher or author.
Ok so maybe something I want is available here in Spanish. Problem is, although reasonably fluent, I don't speak it well enough to enjoy the reading experience.
So what to do when the English version of an ebook is denied me? - the same as everybody else will - walk on the dark side until the money grabbing publishers see sense.
