Remove anachronistic distribution models that include geographic restrictions and those ebook purchasers who want to buy a chosen title but cannot will not have to turn to piracy in order to find the book that they would be quite happy to pay for.

A classic example of publisher stupidity is that GR can occur on several books of a series but all of them. This means that a purchaser can only buy part of the series with no indication the other books in the series are restricted to buy because they live in the wrong part of the world. There is usually no option but find another method to get those ebooks. Workarounds to GR do not often work.

What can be more ridiculous than a local author having their ebooks unavailable to those who also reside in the same country?
