It's very strange that it works for some people and not others.

There are other ways to get it... (and no, I don't feel bad about doing it, as I did pay for the book and won't return it, I just won't be able to download it from my bookshelf)

I totally agree with you, I do everything I can to get my books legally, however if I have stupid reasons put in front of me to stop me from doing so (such as said geographical crap) then I have no compunctions about straying to the dark side to get them.

Hmm.. perhaps they're checking the Issuer Identification number at the start of the CC number. Weird.

GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS: Only available to customers in: US, CA
Credit Card needed to verify download. Click here to set it.

It does look like they have changed something, I have had no issues buying books with micropay until today when I ordered the Dan Brown book, the purchase went thru but it won't let me download it from my bookshelf unless I enter a credit card (won't use the card I already have registered), changing the credit card address to the USA doesn't work.

Now I wait to see if they will refund it since they won't deliver it.

Stupid greedy publishers.

EDIT: Seems to be just this book..?

It might be every secure ereader book. As that one needs a CC to download. As mobipocket is my preferred format, I've only ever bought 1 other ereader format book (that other book was a replacement for a mobipocket version earlier this year).

When I changed it to Norway and bought some ebooks without geografic restrictions then it went through without problems. Anyone else had the same problems?

My fictionwise buywise club doesn't expire untill 2012, bought a 5 year membership 2 years ago and now it seems it's going to be a waste of money if I can't buy the books I want

Get your money back - i got mine refunded ....

It's only the big discounts and special offers that you don't get, you still get the club price and 15% rebates etc.

There's very few books I buy that have 100% rebates so it's not too bad for me. I've also just got an entropay CC which I'm gonna try shortly, if that works then all is good

I wish they would put a list up on what those regions are:

CA, PH, PR, UM, US, VI

CA I presume is Canada
US I presume is the USA

But the others?

The last book I bought with 100% rebate is LOTR.
