If they would sell it here... There are a few online booksellers who sell English books. But those are in epub. And I have absolutely no use for epub. Also, those books are twice as expensive as on American bookstores (due to an even weirder rule than geographic restrictions, namely that ebooks aren't books but download services and thus attract the high VAT).

Luckily, there are plenty of ways of cicrumventing those restrictions. So, I'm faced with a choice. Pirate a book (and do something illegal, even though that's debatable here) or buy a restricted book oversees, lying about my locations (which is also illegal).
