Well, the French gov and the book stores can suck it, everyone can order from neighboring countries. I still can't understand how they don't get that it's a global economy (not to mention the EU, which each member country just disregards when it comes to various laws)...
- riffraff 13y agothey can, but then they likely won't get free shipping. E.g. italy has had "save the bookstores" laws enacted for a while, which means amazon can't offer discounts as high as it does elsewhere, but using amazon.it still ends up cheaper than amazon.co.uk, for delivery in italy.
- ernesth 13y agoTwo things: 1. french books are more expensive in neighboring countries; 2. if you order from another country, you legally still have to pay french tax in addition to the tax from the source country...
- jotm 13y agoDamn, I completely forgot that the books are written in French... In my mind, everyone's reading in English, plus Amazon.de probably doesn't store English and French books, either...
