I wonder if a concerted effort to target the author's agents would help. Something like this:

'I am trying to buy Book X by your client Author Y, and was turned away from Amazon/Kobo/Whomever because they are not authorized sellers for my region. As you are Author Y's agent, I was hoping you would have the information about who IS the authorized seller for my region.'

If they write back and say there is no authorized seller, suggest that you will give them six months to therefore negotiate a seller so as to obtain the sale on their client's behalf, and following that, you will either purchase the book or write to the author and inform him that his agent is depriving him of sales from whatever your country is...
