For the information of the list I am forwarding a recent message from the well-known bookseller Waterstones informing me that I can no longer purchase ebooks online from them as I live outside the UK and Ireland. I believe the same applies to other booksellers.
The industry really needs to get moving to provide solutions on these issues.
Sincerely,
Mary Joan Crowley

************ Dear Customer,
We see from our records that you have previously purchased an eBook from Waterstones.com whilst having a registered address outside of the UK and Ireland.
We regret that as of 20th October 2010, we are no longer able to sell eBooks to customers placing an order from anywhere outside of the UK and Ireland. We have had to take this action to comply with the legal demands of publishers regarding the territories into which we can sell eBooks.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Please note: Your previously purchased eBooks are not affected by this and will still be available in your 'Digital order history' in your online account.
Kind regards,
Waterstones.com Customer Service
