I rarely make flat statements here, preferring to be less dogmatic. I made one of those not too long ago regarding the "geographic restriction" that people may see. I’m now comfortable that I was wrong on that. My apologies to people who may have been misled by my previous statements.The basic issue is that people may see a statement regarding a "geographic restriction" when attempting to buy a book, and be prevented from buying the book. I thought that could be done on a title by title basis. Others thought it only related to the set up of the account. They were right, I was wrong, based on a reply I got from Amazon Customer Service:I asked:======================Would a person with a US credit card and US address on the account ever encounter geographic restrictions when traveling abroad? Is that ever based on the individual title and/or location of the purchaser, or just on the account set-up?=======================Amazon Customer Service responded to me in an e-mail in part:=======================Please note that to successfully purchase digital content from the Amazon Kindle Store, the 1-Click payment method listed on the Manage Your Kindle page must be a credit or debit card issued by a U.S. Bank with a U.S. billing address.However, if you have a valid credit or debit card issued by a U.S. Bank with a U.S. billing address, it makes you an eligible customer to order Kindle content. There is no geographic restriction.======================(Excerpt from an August 20, 2009 e-mail to the author)Bufo CalvinAmazon Author Central page:http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B002E0NBIW
