The original explanation I was given was that it had to do with international copyrights, but I was amazed to find that, after downloading the Kindle App to my I-Pad, I was able to buy most of the books that were denied me by Barnes & Noble. Surely Amazon and B&N operate according to the same intellectual property law! Surely also B&N would not want to brush off a potentially significant market, i.e. the literate expat and traveller who has a compelling reason for wanting an e-reader.

So, what’s the deal, B&N?
