Yes, I agree. There's already too much sneaking and tinkering involved with e-book reading because of DRM. Yes, I don't have to buy DRMed ebooks but if I don't I might as well through away my reader, and I don't want to do that. So I put up with DRM, but evading georestrictions is an added headache I don't need.
Even when I eliminate the books I can't buy and the books I won't buy because of the price, there are still many good books available to me. It's a shame that there has to be a selection like this, but this has always been the case after all. When I bought books in bookshops, I was restricted by the selection of the bookshops I went to. There have even been a few paper books (not many) that I wanted to read but was unable to find.
All in all I think the number of books available to me, in English and in the near future in French, has increased to the point of making me dizzy
