Publishers region locking their digital content can swallow a bag of dicks.
Especially when it's not available in the country the author is from. That's pretty messed up.
Anyone know a good set of all the discworld ebooks where the footnotes actually work? This series is the only one I have to still read from a physical copy.
Why have I never heard of Ebooks being region locked before?
Almost makes you miss having to ride your bike to the library
publishing rights for digital books internationally is a giant shit show. This is as much a problem with the laws and treaties over copyright as it is the individual publishers sublicensing copyrights between jurisdictions.
