As I said, I will ask. As editor of Stereophile, I am not responsible for
the magazine's circulation, distribution, or subscriptions. The first two
are handled by a division of our parent company in Florida, the last by
an independent company. So I cannot answer you immediately. My
apologies if that frustrates you.

>If Amazon sells in the US, why not in Europe?
>They sell anything and everything here.

I conjectured it was something to do with copyright because, as far as I
can tell from my travels in Europe, sales of other copyrighted products
are handled by independent Amazon companies in each European country.
In the UK, for example, it appears that you have to purchase CDs from
amazon.co.uk, not the American parent company. But I don't have recent
experience and perhaps I am incorrect in this conjecture. Perhaps you
could clarify the situation: as you live in Europe, from whom do you
purchase CDs, the American Amazon site or your local Amazon site?
