HT4059 When I go yo purchase a book, I pad says cannot connect to iBook store

When I go to purchase a book, iPad says cannot connect with iBook store.

Thanks for responding turingtest2 - I finally worked it out (no thanks to Apple!) - I am in South Africa at the moment and availability of content here is very limited (it seems) according to the bloggers - when I looked there is a tiny faint grey note at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/download ...
it seems to pick up South Africa and the UK - in fact I have set up an alternative UK apple ID so I suppose it sees my ipad, checks my "accounts" and constructs the note accordingly?  Weird. 
It would have been REALLY helpful to have a clear indication of content availability when setting up the South African account.  I have found the several places where the experts explain how to work around this problem with fake US addresses and voucher payments.  I don't want to do that. 
I have to say that my limited experience with iTunes and Apple over three years (previously on PC/Windows) is way below what I would expect from Apple inc ... this incident must have wasted four hours of my life ...
