If you want to look on the bright side, I suppose we could say that Geographic Restrictions save us money, they have definitely saved me hundreds of pounds on ebooks I would have bought if only I didn't live in the pesky UK, with its behind the times (or couldn't be bothered) publishers. It's one thing to say 'you can't sell that ebook here because i'm selling that ebook here' it is totally another to say 'you can't sell that ebook here but we won't sell it here either'
I am also in the camp publish the ebook at the same time as the hardback book but make it the same price, then at least we have the choice.
