Just to be clear: This was a U.S. judge ruling on a settlement reached between the U.S. DOJ and three publishers who chose to settle rather than go to a U.S. court. I'm not certain why you would expect this ruling to have any effect on ebooks published outside the U.S.

Do you purchase through a VPN? Unless you appear to be purchasing from the U.S. or have your device registered in the U.S. and appear to be an American purchasing while abroad, you may purchase from Amazon.com and it show a different publisher. It's technically a different publisher even though "Transworld Publishers Inc. is a British publishing division of Random House." (Wiki) Different contracts, different pricing, etc...

It made more sense when you had physical editions published in different countries. Same file from the same server published by essentially different companies depending on where the purchaser lives? Yes, absurd. Random House is owned by Bertelsmann, a German company. They aren't particularly American anyway.
