UHm. If I go to amazon.com and buy an American edition of HP then UK publishers of HP should be very cross because they get nothing while American publisher gets all the money from me. What is so different with ebooks? I even can buy American editions on the local amazon.co.uk and again UK publishers don't get my money.
I think I am missing something.

Moreover, it works not only with amazon. There are plenty of online bookshops in the USA where I can order books. They do not have any branches in the UK at all.
