Is this book available to Americans?

Hello,
I am looking to purchase a certain ebook (see link below), and I live in Canada, with both a Kindle 3 and a PRS-950. Now I tried using inkmesh to locate this book, but so far I've had no luck, even using an American IP address (free VPN). Can anyone from the US in this forum actually confirm that this link actually points to a valid ebook which could be purchased? None of the links worked for me, but maybe it's because I'm from Canada...

Thanks if you could check!

title: "The Landmark Herodotus"

They don't work from the US. This usually means that the ebook used to be available (since Inkmesh found it), but isn't any more.

I spoke too soon. The Fictionwise link (for a Secure eReader version) seems to be working, although the title can't be found by FictionWise's search. I don't know if a buy attempt would work though.

It won't add to the cart, and while there's a book link, the author link turns up empty.

I see this a lot at FW with books that have been removed from their sales catalog, but are still listed on the site. I've also seen plenty of authors with detailed bios and no books still available.

Losing the Agency 6 has butchered the site's functionality.

Random House, the publisher, lists it in paperback & hardcover only.

Ah yes, love those robots or some such. Tried to order from five sites and came up with blank or 'not available at this time'

Thanks, I'll check that one out! Although I'm not sure about the format being supported by Kindle 3 or PRS-950...should check that!

EDIT: OOPS, now I spoke too soon, I missed Elfwreck's point...

bottom line: NOT available for anyone atm :-(

Thanks, but that's the hardcover, which I already own. Was it a Kindle version for you when you browsed that link?

This link
http://www.amazon.com/Landmark-Herod...9131418&sr=1-2
shows a review for a Kindle version on June 15th. The link to the Kindle edition no longer works. I assume it was pulled to fix typos but I do not know. The review did not mention typos.
