The problem is that a lack of established, mutually followed copyright laws can mean person in country A duplicates the work of person in country B and sells it, and person A has no way to legally prevent it or seek recompense. B&N is surely aware that such a person might seek to sue them in such a case, so they would rather avoid such issues.
Obviously not a problem if you don't care about others stealing your work and profiting from it... but not everyone is that generous.
