OK then, apparently if you're in an affected region you get the note as soon as you visit the site, so they're doing it right.

I wonder if there are other regions affected.

Im wondering what pre arrange publishing arrangement would affect it going into the bundle though

The usual I suspect - the publisher doesn't hold the license to digitally distribute it in your region or the author is under a restrictive clause with his publisher for print in your region, if the e-book is self-published.

You could always contact support and ask for the specifics though.

Cheesy that they're region-locking. The bundle is still pretty good though.

They set the minimum to $3 because they didn't know how to make it $0.01 and people were getting them for free? That's dumb. :\

Yep im emailing them about it, although i don't expect anything except for a rehash of the note on the front page lol

Supports reply

"Thanks for writing in! Yes, the Brandon Sanderson book unfortunately has a prior arrangement from the UK publisher that they have the exclusive distribution rights for UK + Commonwealth territories, which includes Australia. Brandon writes a little bit on that topic here:
http://brandonsanderson.com/the-emperors-soul-at-storybundle-words-of-radiance-tour-notes/

Because of this, we had to decide whether to not offer the book at all, or just offer it for the territories where the publisher didn't have an exclusive, and we thought that offering it for as many people as we could was the better solution. I know this doesn't help your own situation though, so sorry for that!

On the other hand, if you do have any friends in the US or Canada or any other country that's not in the restricted region, you could ask a friend to purchase for you. Not an ideal solution, I know."

kalmis666: Getting this just for the Rush book.
Just noticed this thread. I may have to do the same, although I've read some of Rusch's work as well as Gaiman and Sanderson, so with the other books in the bundle this has got to be easily worth the bucks.

"The Emperor's Soul" is brilliant. It really is unfortunate that it's region locked for some people.

Dont think we are talking about the same thing :) I was talking about Clockwork Angels which is written by KJA and Neil Peart, drummer of band Rush.

Actually, yes, we're talking about the same thing. I'm a huge fan of Rush and know all about Clockwork Angels the album as well as the book. I meant that as a bonus to the Clockwork Angels novel I'd read Kristine Kathryn Rusch (and others) before and enjoyed her work. I can see where the confusion lies there now, though. Apologies for not being clearer.

No need to apologie, any excuse to talk about Rush is a good thing ;)

Those look like some interesting books. Besides I'm a sucker for interactive fiction.
