I got the email from WHSmith. What I found even more disconcerting is this:

If your credit card billing address(es) is outside the UK we're afraid we will not be able to sell you eBooks from WHSmith.co.uk/eBooks. This is due to taxation and contractual issues. We hope to serve you again in the future.

So no publishers' geographic restrictions any more. The bookstore itself is placing stricter restrictions.
With Waterstones' service having left me unimpressed, to say the least, and WHSmith refusing to sell to me anymore, I do wonder where I will get my ebooks from now on...
