Thanks for all your advice unfortunately I am prohibited from buying from any of the commercial sources because of the mafia that controls the International Book Trade. I tried four sites and all allowed me to select a book and go right through to recording my credit card details and then they throw up a warning saying we are prohibited from selling this book in New Zealand. I have spent a lifetime fighting this stupidity with physical books were because of the way publishers divide the world up into zones and refuse to sell to anyone not in their zone.
I wouldn't mind so much if we had access to online stores in New Zealand but the only one is aligned to Kobo books and they have next to nothing in their inventory.
So here I am with a brand new reader and I cannot get any new books for it.
Are any other new Zealand readers having similar problems
