Hi to all. Just joined this forum as I have an iPad arriving on Friday. I have been reading eBooks for some 15+ years on laptops but it will be nice to have something a bit lighter and more portable.
There is nothing to stop anyone buying from a US or say Canadian website. You can use a proxy IP to hide your country of origin and pay via Paypal. I have had no problem buying books not yet published in the UK. I find this much less of a problem than the ever increasing proliferation of incompatible formats and user unfriendly security.
I changed last year from a Macbook to a Macbook Pro. I have been unable to transfer across some of my older secure ePub books. Adobe give me endless and wholly useless methods of trying to get round this, many of them purely for PC's not Mac's, even though I have told them a number of times I only use Mac's.
The only way round this is to reload the ePub book from your digital bookcase but of course, this only works if the download remains there and is not time limited, which some of my older ones were.
