The reason is probably the fact that many publishers only have distribution rights for a book in a specific country. Many books, for example, are published by different publishers in the US and the UK. If Sony were to allow UK customers to buy books from the US publisher of a book for which a UK publisher had distribution rights in the UK, that UK publishers might well get a little annoyed!
