What happened with the newest RS guidebooks in Kindle format at amazon.com?

Posted by on

I am from South America and have an Amazon account I use to buy kindle books. I had bought RS guidebooks in the past, but now I want to buy RS London 2017, Paris 2017 and others and the latest edition I can found for a RS guidebook in Kindle format is RS Switzerland, released in April 2016.

Is there a reason why I can´t buy any newer editions on the kindle books format? I have tried google books and Kobo books and the same issue happens, nothing new from RS guidebooks, only older editions available. In the Nook store I can SEE available digital versions of the newers RS digital edition guidebooks, but I can´t download the android app from B&N's Nook if I am from South America.

I believe is something new, having to do with editorial rights outside USA. Can someone at Rick's office help me on this issue? Anyone experiencing this in or outside USA?

Thanks

I see the 2017 versions of those Kindle books in Amazon when I checked just now. Paper versions too. But then I am in the US so it may be a regional thing and they just have not been released yet in your area.

If you want someone from the office to answer this, you should send them an email directly or call them. They don't necessarily hang around here.

Hi, Daniel. Half of Rick's guidebooks are only published every two years, and Switzerland is one of those. They are titled "Eighth Edition," etc., instead of with a year specified in their titles. You can also see in our online store when the next edition of any printed book is expected, and the Kindle versions follow after those. London 2017 and Paris 2017 are in print now.

Thanks, is a regional thing, confirmed by Amazon. It is so bad because we were able to buy them before. I am so sorry this happened.
