I live in Argentina and I always buy books from an online bookstore located in England, it is much cheaper. And I have a subscription to a local library to read novels written in Spanish. The article is wrong when it says that "import restrictions make it a bureaucratic nightmare to purchase books from international internet sellers"; since books are not subject of import restrictions nor taxes. Capital controls are why people cannot transfer money to international bookstores and that's why they buy books from the more expensive local bookstores. The language is another barrier.
