Probably a bit nitpicky, but there is at least one place outside the US/EU where it is very easy to find books in English.

You might be surprised. Good luck finding reasonably priced books in Australia. Book depository has been excellent.

I had no idea this was coming. I didn't know they were owned by Amazon. This is terrible and it just goes to show that we can't have nice things.

I had been ordering books from there since 2015 :(

You're right, let me rephrase.

> I feel like there are no words for how much this sucks for me personally. It seems to me that if you are in most countries outside the US/EU, potentially excluding strong US/EU-adjacent economies such as Canada, UK, and Switzerland (Switzerland technically not being a part of the European Union), books in english can be hard to find for some people. Book Depository had what I consider to be decent prices with free international shipping to most of the world. Sure, I have to wait around a month and sometimes they have to reship because it got damaged, possibly in transport, but if I would like to have a book at that very moment I can use Library Genesis. Books ordered from Book Depository make up a large part of my personal library, with a few exceptions course.

Britain, Australia, and India would be my guesses. And Canada if we haven’t annexed it yet.

Poor New Zealand, not even on the map in Risk.

Wasn't there a "reasonably priced" bit also? See peer comment regarding pricing in Australia.

I know of at least two off the top of my head: UK and Canada.
