Georestrictions in purchasing ebooks from ebooks sites...

Posted by Len at 7:32 PM
I sent an email to kobobooks.com to ask if I won't have any difficulties in purchasing from their site if I'm outside the US. Barnes and Nobles has georestrictions in all of their online products. Amazon.com has none, in my area. Diesel also has georestrictions. I can only purchase Harlequin books. Kobo customer care replied and said some of their ebooks have restrictions but most of them are available for purchase by international buyers.


To sum it up:

Amazon.com (US Site) - None in my area but UK residents can't purchase from US website.
Barnes and Noble - only US-residents can purchase and you must be physically in the US to be able to purchase.
Kobo.com - some books are restricted. Kobo customer care said this is not their fault but of the publishers.
Diesel - Most of their books are restricted in my area. I can only purchase Harlequin ebooks.
