Quote from the article that goes with the poll:
"However, there were a lot of complaints that geographical restrictions were not a choice, with many readers saying that is the biggest obstacle to their purchasing an ebook. I wonder how much of an obstacle it really is."
I'm quite offended by that - and no, not the punctuation error (a question mark fits in there I think). It is a determinedly US-centric point of view. Many readers said it was the biggest obstacle. I think the majority of people saying that were from outside the US saying they couldn't buy in the US-based e-book stores. And you wonder how much of an obstacle it really is! How many different ways do you want to hear the same thing before you believe? It's not a problem for e-book users in the USA so, q.e.d, it isn't a problem?
