Kobo beats ibooks with international ipad bookstore app
Looks like the new kids on the ebook block are still tying to figure things out for the non-US markets.
Chapters/Indigo, Borders, Barnes and Noble and Amazon will all happily sell print and ebooks to Canadians from either their US stores or Cdn one...if it exists. Apple's app-store-like approach seems odd especially since they haven't managed to get the international stores running properly to coincide with the launch as they did with the US store...
There must be all kinds of distribution rights complexities that they're trying to iron out, but I don't understand how B&N, which has no Canadian presence, can sell to Canadians from the US but Apple can't.
