Jon lives in the US, while I live in the UK like Alastair so, it seems, am not allowed to read his stuff unless I want to spend on the order of £100 per novella. Wonderful. :/

Surely you mean £10? I'd expect a lot more than a novella at £100…

Unfortunately not. These things were expensive chapbooks when they were printed -- now, years out of print, you're talking £70+. With a lot of +.

I have observed successful purchases of geographically-restricted digital products from Amazon by routing the web traffic through a proxy in a non-restricted country. Evidently the customer's home address and credit card currency are not considered.
