My experience is limited to French language apps and my not be as commonplace as I think
it is: there have been some French apps which I couldn't find on the American store doing a general search; I have gone to the French site (by changing the settings at the bottom) and found the app I was looking for (again doing a general search on a keyword); returned to the American site and search on the exact name of the app I wanted. I've, so far, always been able to find it that way and to download it. This may not be as common as I think it is but it may help someone. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Not wanting to derail the topic but... The "media" as you've used it there is a collective noun**. I suspect, you'll struggle to find a native English speaker that won't feel the phase you used is off. If you want the singular, better to have said: "The book is a perfect technology" or "The book is the perfect technology" or "A book is the perfect technology".... - this could run and run (cracking post by the way and I've got an eReader) **Edit: Should have been a little clearer. As a collective noun it may be followed by a verb in the singular (I say may because you'll find plenty of instances where it's followed by a verb in the plural. "Books", however, isn't currently a collective noun, even if you'd like it to be in this instance. Edited by Andy E on 13 October 2010 at 8:52am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I went to the Apple store and they confirmed that there are only 2 ways to buy apps or books from a given country's store: enter a credit card number with a mailing address in that country, or get a prepaid card from that country. Obviously, only option 2 is possible for me, but getting such a card is not easy (or cheap).
