I have spent 3 days trying my damnedest to buy the last book in a series that I could previously buy online with no issues at all and now cannot.
I am hoping as the release date draws near that other ebook stores offer it for sale and previously successful workarounds allow me to pay for and acquire the book.
If that proves impossible then I have to explore other options. Options I really want to avoid.
I have long held the view that geographical restrictions would prove more insidious than DRM. I firmly believe that view is correct.

But, there are two other options you could consider.
1. Don't buy the book, forget about it.
2. Try to buy the old fashioned paperback/hardcover.
I've had a few days to think about this issue and cool down my anger and frustration and I've come to the conclusion that getting the ebook I want is not worth becoming a criminal for.
I'm just going to buy ebooks when I can and where I can, and if not buy the paperback. I will also keep complaining, maybe they will listen someday. Patience is a virtue, and this situations is probable going to make me very virtuous.
