There is no problem with buying a goodly range of books from any US store - be it BoB or Fictionwise (FW) .....
However, increasingly, some publishers are adding a Geographical Restriction on their wares .....
One UK writer, Sir Terry Pratchett, is not available to be purchased from the BoB/FW from someone correctly supplying their UK address.
Having a UK outlet may not alter this restriction......The more I think about it the more I wonder if the idea is sound, especially if there is an attempt to sell at a higher price in Sterling, than the Dollar equivalent .....
