![]() ![]() ![]() You can read the blog post which set it off HERE though he later retracted (kind of) his endorsement of STGRB (which there's more about in the comments in case you are unfamiliar with that site's tactics). I think there's a thread in the General Discussions forum here, too. |

Yes, there's a thread about it and, really, I find all the story totally ridiculous.

I wasn't planning to go around geo restrictions, I meant the price. For instance if a book is available in both countries but it's discounted in one.

Vegas has no sales tax ... and there are hotels worldwide. Kobo used to check your IP (still does for some countries, I suspect), as do some of the AU bookstores. B&N might, but Amazon doesn't, from what I've seen (didn't try any stores that I couldn't translate, of course, and if the US store does ... well, that's where I am). |

one exception I've seen is at christianaudio. For gifting, the receiver must be able to purchase the same asin at amazon. At Kobo, that isn't the case. In either store, the gift pays his price (with tax, if applicable); the price where the receiver lives is not used. |

Don't know for sure. Assuming it's the same publisher (it often isn't) the price should be whatever it costs the person doing the gifting, but I've never tried it to know for sure.
