When I visited Australia and New Zealand in January, a fair number of folks mentioned wanting Kindles and being bummed they could not get them in NZ. Several mentioned that they worked around this by ordering one in Australia. They said they were downloading books using the USB cord.
It is not a perfect solution but it seems to work. My guess is that the same work around would work for any number of e-readers.
Also, there are plenty of stores that you can buy e-books from that are not Amazon, B&N, or Sony. So the regional restriction does not limit you to free books.
