ibooks store is only free books - all ancient classics

I can access the ibook site on my ipad, but all it displays is free books - mostly ancient classics.

How do I get books with a price? New books! I have an itunes account, as I have purchased many apps, so they must know who I am and who to send the bill to.

What is the problem here?

the problem may be that Apple hasn't obtained the rights to sell the +good stuff+ from the content-owners. i'm facing a similar problem over here in Germany - no English language books to be had.

my workaround is purchasing what i want from amazon.com and use the free [ kindle_|http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_ipad_mktlnd?docId=1000490441] on my iPad.

This app is crap. I live in NZ so all I see is old free books...I don't want those.

Everyone use kindle. Much better than this crummy app.

Would like to add that I live in the Netherlands but I can get Kindle here, I think it is available everywhere. However, I read mainly English, and of course I don't know if the Kindle app is available in other countries and in other languages; that may not yet be the case.
