I don't like the geographical restrictions, the price, the choice of books and formats, and i have the right to complain,

But to just take what i want, will not inprove the attitude of publishers, or make them believe they don't need these restrictions will it ?

I love eBooks, I'm only just starting out on this way of reading, i sure hate the prices, and the lack of some eReaders, eBooks in some countries, Boy you US readers should see how few eReaders we can have, and have fully functioning here in the UK !

But i still want to do it legally, i'll still nag publishers, lobby Authors, and read what i can, but theft is theft, and won't help our cause wil it ?
I've actually complained to the stores who don't sell me and they can take it up with "upper management", meaning the publishers and others who have to do with this.

As for stealing, I don't do it, but I get it. It might not improve the situation, but at least in the sort term it will improve the situation of the reader who is using illegal means to get what he or she wants.

As for the situation in the UK, please don't complain, because it is 10 times better than in most EU countries. Well, actually do complain, just not here!
