I know a lot of nasty people. ![]() ![]() I also know quite a number of people who are courteous and gentle. And they are wonderful writers! Last edited by Dr. Drib; 12-31-2022 at 10:30 AM. |

Yes. A bit easier from ebooks.com but both work without a kobo device.

There are many threads pointing to information on both. |

You do need to set your account address to the correct country. Your credit card billing details also need to be in the correct country, which is usually much harder to achieve... However! Buy yourself some Kobo credit in advance and then temporarily delete your credit card details. |

Country shows as UK, but I believe that changes automagically when youy change the store. Quote:

If you have PayPal, follow my instructions above. Buy a cheap ebook from Kobo UK (or whereever) and see what happens. I have purchased 10 Kobo books over the years that are unavailable in the US. It is easy peasy. |

My final step was to delete my payment details, so it sounds like that's the key thing. I didn't know you could pay via Paypal - that makes things a bit simpler!

I don't see why they make it difficult. An ebook bought from a UK publisher has the money go to that UK publisher not a US publisher. Just like taking a trip and buying the book at a UK bookstore. All they need is to have listings for each publisher and you could pick the version you wanted from any ebook store.

An Ebooks.com FAQ says they accept Paypal and checkout can be done a a "Guest" without creating an account. I guess that should work. Thanks for the comments, folks. Wally |

I've not needed a VPN. I've just switched my location to the UK. I've paid on Kobo with a US credit card. With eBooks.com, I've switch my location and used PayPal. Again no VPN needed.

Louise Cooper - Time Master trilogy and the other three related trilogies, the Indigo series and various stand alone books. I've actually gone to her website, and reached out to the agent that is listed there. I didn't get a reply; I have no idea if they still represent her estate after her passing.
David Eddings - yep, I know I could 'travel' the UK and get them. Maybe if I didn't have paper copies I'd get serious about doing so. ![]() Robert Aspirin - Myth Adventures series; the second one was released in November, so I've hopes that I'll be able to get all of these soon. Hal Clement - his most popular stuff is available but that's it H. Beam Piper - Fuzzies and Other People |
