Good to have your company, Ron. Geographical restrictions are a pest for e-reading folks outside the US, and -- in spite of the excuses -- the problem could be easily fixed by simply opening retail websites in, for instance, Europe, Down Under and Hong Kong.
Don't hold your breath, though, for such a simple quick fix.
