Defined how? Legal residence of the buyer? Current location of the buyer? The location of the computer she's logged into at the time of purchase? (Which is probably the same as her location, but sometimes, things are a bit weird. Computers in, for example, an embassy might be "in" a different country than the people in that embassy.) The location of the server of the ISP? The location of the main office of the bank or credit card used for the purchase?
If a person who lives in France is vacationing in the US, she can buy pbooks that aren't sold in France. While she's there, can she buy ebooks that aren't sold in France? If not, why not? If yes, how?
Can she visit a US embassy in France and buy US ebooks there?
Geo restrictions are a *mess.*
