UK ebookstore

I am trying to buy the Lost Symbol by Dan Brown via my iphone but all of the sites that i can search for on my iphone take me to US stores which won't let me buy the book as i am in the UK.

How can i address this issue?

hmmmm

If there is, it would be great to know about it. I only can find it in Sony eReader (Adobe) format. According to a Stanza press release in mapfre sigorta Feb this year, support for this format was coming

Realise you have no control but...

The point of the thread was to determine whether there was a store that was selling the book in a Stanza compatible format in the UK. If there is, it would be great to know about it. I only can find it in Sony eReader (Adobe) format. According to a Stanza press release in Feb this year, support for this format was coming to Stanza in Q2. This has not happened as yet. Any update on when that might become a reality?

We (Lexcycle) don't have any

We (Lexcycle) don't have any control over the geographical restrictions that our retail partners have in place to comply with publisher rules. For some background behind them, you can read Fictionwise's FAQ about it at http://www.fictionwise.com/help/GeographicRestrictionsFAQ.htm.

I am in the same boat. It is

I am in the same boat. It is really annoying as I just want it on my phone and not have to buy a massive hard back. I am also not going to shell out for a sony eReader, which seems to be the only device you can get it on over here.
