I’d hesitate to call it a DVD, but 4K-UHD Bluray disks have no region codes. The players are fantastically expensive, and some of the discs are too. Moreover, the disks are a niche product, and aren’t sold in many places.

Some bluray discs worked in all three regions, but unfortunately the exceptions are many.

For what it’s worth when Microsoft wound up it’s book service they did refund everything. I thought and still thought that was a pretty good deal.

You can buy directly from Cory Doctorow and his books will not be offered through Amazon Kindle.

The ebooks come as DRM-free MOBIs and EPUBs.

I mean it’s wrong but also if you paid to “own” these shows, I have zero sympathy :person_shrugging:
