Global eBook stores for International readers

Amazon and Barnes & Noble are two of the biggest eBook stores in the market. However, people outside of the US cannot well benefit from the convenience delivered by them. This is especially true when it comes to Barnes & Noble Nook store, where non-US readers are able to purchase eBooks with a local credit card, but can't download the books or read on their computer.

Here I have collected some global eBook stores. Thus people will be able to buy and read eBooks in non-US countries.

International eBook stores for EPUB books

eBooks.com

eBooks.com accepts 4 kinds of payment: Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club. You can choose the format for your books, read online (for most books) or download the books to your computer with the provided reading software installed.

Diesel

Launched in 2004, Diesel is one of the largest independent eBook stores in the world. As a freedom fighter, you can read eBooks from Diesel on multi reading devices without restriction to some store or eReader.

Kobo

As a rival of Amazon and Barnes & Noble, you should have heard of Kobo. Yes, it sells eBooks as well eReaders. Of course, you don't have to own a Kobo eReader. By installing Kobo for PC/Mac/Android/iOS, you can read Kobo books on a handy device.
