Audio book unavailable in sandboxed Google play store

lz00

Hi, I am using sandboxed Google play and having problems with one specific audio book that I want to buy (because it's the only way I know to currently access it). Anyway, when I search for it it doesn't show up, and when my girlfriend who has a pixel with Google OS sent me a link directly to the book it says it's not available. Has anyone else had this problem and is there any way to solve it? I'm assuming it has to do with the app being sandboxed, but I really have no technical knowledge.

Additional info:

The book is Sunrise on the Reaping in English
I'm in Sweden
I don't seem to have a problem with audio books in general as others are available for download and purchase

Thanks for any help or advice!

Is it showing up in the Play Store on your girlfriend's Pixel with PixelOS?

lz00 who has a pixel with Google OS sent me a link directly to the book it says it's not available.

I'm getting the same message when going to the Play Store app entry for the audiobook on stock PixelOS with a residential Norwegian IP address. It's probably region-locked. Entry: https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details/Suzanne_Collins_Sunrise_on_the_Reaping_A_Hunger_Ga?id=AQAAAEDSLWFtoM

Looks like it's available from libro.fm and Kobo's Sweden store.

Go to https://yandex.com/ and search for the book, you should get it there. I don't want to share direct link.
