Georestrictions are stupid. Plain and simple. If I cannot buy an eBook sold by a store in the UK, then why can I buy the same exact book at the same exact store but in paper? What is the difference? NONE AT ALL! Point of sale should either be where I am buying the book or where I am at the time of purchase. But to have both is asinine.
