Hi. I have a book listed on the bookstore. I can see that it is listed & priced in 51 countries. My friend in Thailand wants to buy it, but Thailand does not appear on the list. He is unable to find the book using the Books app on his Mac.
Is there anyway that someone in Thailand can download the book? Thank you

Not from Apple. You could emal him a copy of your book directly or publish it in another store which he does have access to.
Thanks. I hate to email a copy because this is a military audience; everyone knows everyone; and once someone gets a copy not protected by DRM, I can just see the free copies starting to fly all around the world.
The ebook currently is on all 51 of Apple stores, plus all of Amazon's global stores. (plus paperback via Amazon). Neither serves Thailand (or Philippines, where a lot of military retirees live). What other digital alternatives are there that would provide DRM? I would love global distribution! I have 14,000 followers on social media in every country of the world. I would love to reach them all!
It seems inherently un-DRM-like to be able to email a copy. Like, if you can email copies around, then how is that protective of digital rights?
As far as I understand, when I purchase from Amazon, the ebook installs directly into my Kindle reader. I'm not quite sure how to separate the file from the app, and even if I did, it ought to be unreadable -- which is the whole point of DRM.
Likewise with Apple ebooks -- they install directly into my Books app and I read them there. It could easily be that I have no understanding of the process, but if people can email my book around, I would be quite disappointed in the digital protection that I thought I had.
If you could email a copy downloaded from either apple or Amazon, would that not still have drm?
