N ow I have just received an email from Smith's saying we can no longer sell our books outside of UK. They offered some weak excuse saying that it was because of vat etc but that seems silly as it should not apply to books especially if they are being sent overseas.
We now have almost no avenues here that we can purchase eBooks from.
An absolute stupid situation that makes buying a Reader pointless

All the media companies appear to want to save people in Oceania money, so we don't spend it on that frivolous entertainment junk.
More cash for the important stuff.
Or beer.
