Scrap geo restrictions and DRM and be realistic with pricing to attract more sales.

Encourage more people to buy ebooks rather than be turned away and seeking an alternative because they cannot purchase the ebook they want AND are happy to purchase.

The publishing industry is its own worst enemy. They could be riding on the digital age with common sense distribution models (Baen model perhaps?) instead of making it harder for ebooks to be sold. This is the reality.
On no. That simply is not true. The sellers have a right to decide who they sell to and at what price. That does not give anyone the right to steal from them.
