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).
It's the opposite for me, I don't have any use for mobipocket format, that is the other format they sell. regardless of the format the selection is very poor, that's the real problem.
