Very well put rogue_librarian. A couple of months ago I was trying to locate an ebook retailer that had a new release of one of my favourite authors. Unable to find the book on the very few sites I can buy from. I wrote to the publisher asking how I can obtain the ebook - it was available everywhere overseas. Instead of any sort of useful response; I received a lecture on geo restrictions and told I cannot buy from overseas.
Needless to say I was peeved and will not put up with it - I sourced the book elsewhere free; didn't want to but really was left with no option. I'm happy to pay for ebooks - but at the very least they need to be made available to me!
