It is all a bit moot, as the TNT delivery men in Marseille, have decided to quaff Pastis and eat garlic sausage sandwiches rather than get off their backsides and deliver my iPad, which has been at their depot since last night. Having arranged to be at home all day today for the scheduled delivery, they now say they will be delivering Monday, when I am visiting my brother in hospital in Monaco. Can I pick it up from the depot - Non!
For those looking for a website that ignores country of origin, that takes Paypal and whose prices are reasonable, I have been a buyer from
www.fictionwise.com for about 8 years. Limited choice of UK market books though, unless it is an author popular in the US.
Like others have said, I object to paying Waterstones more for an eBook than they are charging for the physical edition in hardback. I hope that the increasing popularity of the iPad and other universal readers will change the dynamics of the supply/demand situation in favour of eBooks.
