Hi,
I'm trying to find out more information about this region-lockdown on ebook suddenly. Because I used to buy ebooks online from ereader.com, mobipocket.com and fictionwise.com for years with no problem. But suddenly, when I log in a couple of days ago, they put a region lock on purchaseable books on any country outside of US and Canada.
Anyone know when it's possible to get ebooks again from those sites? Or any site online, that is.
They're incorporating Geo IP filtering now. In anticipation of the more wider release with the introduction of the new e-readers coming out.I'm trying to find out more information about this region-lockdown on ebook suddenly.

I use Hotspot Shield to trick Amazon into thinking I'm logging on in from the States, the program basically gives me a US proxy to cater for ebook purchases. I've never used the other services you mentioned, but give HotSpot Shield a try. Remember to disconnect it after the purchase is complete, otherwise all your surfing will take a hit since its traffic is redirected through a US proxy.
