I already addressed it, but one more time: it's a contract/rights issue. HC doesn't have the right to permit sales outside the markets they've contracted for with me. Holland, while in the EU, along with every other nation that isn't the UK, is not what is known as an "open market." For example, if you live in the Philippines, you could download either the US or UK version. Why? I have no idea, but it's an open market. Someone in Holland will somehow conspire to "import" the ebook, I suspect. Also keep in mind we're talking new technology and old business models. Makes things difficult for a while.
