But I don't blame FW for that. I'm saddened, but not in a "that's the last drop" sort of way.

Actually, part of it is something can do something about. Don't show me the collection that is not available to me. Now they keep saying they have these books I'd love to have only to find out in my cart that I can't buy them...

Also, I don't think they're working really hard at finding other options for readers not from the US and CA. At least at booksonboard they show what formats I can't buy (from publishers who only sell in the US, probably) but also formats which I can buy (different price, different publisher...)
