At least we french have amazon, and the fnac.


Weird, because the new-fashionable book are usually the easier to find.

As a matter of fact it is quite complicated to do so from Spain since the transport is reallly long. I was disappointed as I realised that there is no spanish amazon, and english books are indeed very difficult to find in some areas, or extremely expensive. We will be moving in June to Spain and that was certainly a reason for me to have a better look at a dedicated reader (and ending up buying plenty of them, but that is another story).

There are not many sites or ebooks available here in the UK. Certainly free ones are very very few and far between. I don't understand why we cannot buy books from the US. Or even download the free ones. If I was persoally there I could go into B&N and buy a book with no restrictions so??????
Over here I can still buy pbooks at half the cost of an ebook. And it uses all that paper etc!
Rant over from quite a disappointed user.

Yes, I'm with you on every point. It sucks!

If you want to buy English paperback in Spain, I recommend you bookdepository (co.uk or com). They have no shipping costs, and they're only a bit more expensive than Amazon, so, in the long term, they're cheaper. And they take very bit time in arriving home.
