How Apple users can get my Carina books in the UK

[annathepiper]

We’re having an interesting discussion on the Carina authors’ loop, where a few of us have reported in that readers in the UK can’t get Carina titles via the iBookstore. As Carina titles are available in the US iBookstore, you can expect we find this a little frustrating!

We’ve also been discussing that Carina’s own site has issues with not accepting UK-based methods of payment, so that means directing UK readers to the main Carina site won’t necessarily be a workable solution, either. Also frustrating!

However, we have determined that there are still viable ways for UK-based readers who happen to be owners of Apple devices to get Carina books. The drawback to this is that you have to be willing to buy books from sources other than the iBookstore.

At least some of your books are available in the UK Kobo store (I bought Valor... definitely through the UK Kobo store; Faerie Blood through the Kobo store, with a UK-registered account, but I was actually visiting Seattle at the time (walking the Burke-Gilman Trail from the uni district to just past the opening bridge as my morning commute).

Faerie Blood's self-pubbed by me, so I control where it gets to go out. I made a point of putting it up on Kobo to reach non-US readers. :)

Valor and Vengeance are both Carina, though--so where those books go is dictated by where Harlequin/Carina does its distribution. Good to get a confirmation that Valor showed up on the UK Kobo store, though! Thanks!
