What about localisation? I purchased the whole Sharpe series (by Bernard Cornwell) but because there does not seem to be a single site that sells all of the books I had to buy them from different sites--some from Fictionwise (USA), some from Waterstones UK. The books from FW use American spelling ("honor"), whilst from the UK they use British spelling ("honour"). So the publishers obviously do some work to localise the books. Could this be used as an excuse for geographic restrictions?
I am from the UK but I have no problems reading books with American spelling, even those by British authors. If you are from the USA, would the opposite bother you (British spelling) if you were able to buy books from a UK store?
