I really don't like ranting but I am getting annoyed and have to vent. So I hope this will not frighten people away ;)Some regular readers will know that life in Vienna is great but getting books here isn't so great. I always order from Amazon.de and have always got my books when they are released and for a great price.
Well it seems like times are a changing.
I have had a couple of problems the last few months with books taking a long time to be sent. Waiting for weeks after the release date even thought I pre-order the books months in advance.
Well it is getting worse.
One Foot in the Grave was released the other day. Estimated sending time - JULY!
Hungers of the Heart was also released the other day. Estimated sending date - JULY!!
From Dead to Worse is due out on the 6th. Estimated date of arrival - June 3rd!
I have even been to other online stores in the hope I can order them somewhere else but they are all being shown up as 'unavailable'.
Anyone know a European book seller? Reasonable priced? I am fed up of reading new releases weeks after they have been released...

@ Jackie - Amazon.com will ship to me but the shipping cost is twice as much as the books cost...and it would still take up to a month for them to arrive.
I haven't tried Barnes and Noble but I am sure the postage costs would still be terrible!
@ Daydream
http://www.bookdepository.co.uk are very good and they have free shipping worldwide. The only bad thing is they don't take pre-orders and even though they have the release dates set as 1st of May they still have the books listed as unavaliable :(
www.play.com are also good and ship free within Europe...not sure if that would include your country...
I like e-books but I hate having to sit at the computer to read. I prefer to curl up in bed or on the sofa with my book ;)

I take it the US version of Amazon won't ship to you? Have you tried barnesandnoble.com? It's a US bookseller, but they may ship internationally.
