Ingrams have handled our ebooks for the past eight years, Brian. They started to disappear from the major US stores (Amazon, B&N, etc) when they opened their own ebook-specific retail outlets.
For the time being, we get around this by using Smashwords as a 'partner', which gives us US status (albeit with 30% of revenue withheld at source for the IRS). We prefer our own carefully prepared in house ebooks, though, so we've had a lawyer and accountant on the case for a couple of months to establish a US-base. Even though it will be only on paper, it will be legal and recognised by the US authorities.
Oh, what a tangled web is international tax law. Hoots. Neil
