Whoopsies!

Silverfish Books kinda put its foot in its mouth with this story.

Someone tried to order a book on Malaya from Amazon.com and when an error message came up saying that the book couldn't be shipped to Malaysia, he/she concluded that Amazon was collaborating with the Malaysian government to ban the import of certain books.

Then a reader (scroll to the end of the Silverfish story, read the first comment) pointed out that you simply can't have Amazon Marketplace used books shipped to certain countries. I think there's an option to provide international shipping when you put a used book up for sale on Amazon Marketplace, but you might still need an American credit card to purchase it (i.e. if you were buying from Amazon.com not Amazon.co.uk or some other regional site).

Jumping to Conclusions, are we? =D
