Hey - as far as I'm concerned we are talking about customers trying to buy books, with money. I'm actually impressed that people are willing to go thru all these hoops to buy, rather than just hopping over to a torrent site and getting it for free in under 20 seconds.
I do this all the time with paper books. I have a hobby where I take the covers of books I really like and frame them. I often find myself going to Amazon.co.uk and buying the versions there because I sometimes like those covers better and also you don't get "New York Times Bestselling Author" plastered across the picture on the cover. That doesn't really matter though. If I want to buy a UK book and a UK bookseller wants to sell me a book, exactly what is the problem?
I think these geographic restrictions are downright anti-consumer and I have no problem with somebody going to a different country to buy their books.
Hopefully, you'll never have a problem. Then again, hopefully the publishers will rework their business models to eliminate geographic restrictions.
