OK, I want to rant.

ebooks - they really haven't 'arrived' yet...

I've bought books for some time from an excellent provider of ebooks - both fiction and non-fiction. I've mentioned them here before but am not going to do so here because they're not at fault.

I regularly get promotional emails from them highlighting books in categories I've asked for and sometimes I see something I'd like to buy.

Of late, however, I've noticed that I've been unable to buy a title on several occasions. Why? Because I don't happen to live in the right country. This wasn't previously a problem but apparently now publishers are tightening up.

One book that I spent a lot of money on buying in Palm format and which I read and refer to regularly, I now *cannot* have on my iPod Touch simply because this restriction has come in since my original purchase of the book and my purchase of the Touch.

Aaaaargh!
