I have to add that this might be a small problem for us folks here in the US, but it affects us as well. I have found at least a half dozen instances in which I could not find a copy of the ebook I wanted in any other location than a store in the UK and these ebooks were not available to buyers in the US. It is extremely frustrating to see an ebook for sale, WANT to pay for it, and not be allowed to. I guess with the added convenience of new technology comes unforseen problems. Who would have thought that the availability of an otherwise normal book would depend upon where you were and how you decided to read it?
